BRYAN FERRY lyrics - All Night Operator

Can't you hear me talkin' to you

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me a better line



Can't you hear me talkin'to you

Do telephones make you cry?

I try to write letters

Only my pen runs dry



Though my words sound so confused

The feeling is running strong

Stick tight operator

Help me to pass it on



A final connection

A bridge before the fall

Receiver unrestin'

I count on your call



Am I just a number to you

A handful of empty sighs

All night operator

Reader between the lies



With half the world dreamin'

I see through your eyes

A switchboard breathin'

A diary of crossed lines



Can't you hear me talkin' to you

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me better line



If you feel me driftin' away

Slippin' into my song

All night operator

All of a sudden - gone
