Kissing Down The Telephone Line
With loving words,
we coo and dove to one another
over the telephone line.
Blowing kisses to one another
down the telephone.
Now tomorrow when we meet,
we’ll take them up for real
that’s if our mothers let us,
because you are only two
and I am only three.

Full of excuses
I didn't telephone a.m.
as you'd be having breakfast then.
I didn't telephone at noon
for fear you might be lunching soon.
I didn't telephone p.m.
I thought you might be sleeping and
I didn't telephone at 8
for dinner in your house is late.
I didn't telephone at 9
for fear this may be T.V. time.
I didn't telephone today
as time just seemed to slip away.
No wonder that we never speak,
perhaps I'll try sometime next week?

Telephone Line
Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
Thats what Id say, Id tell you everything,
If youd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelin
Are you still the same
Dont you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just cant believe
Theyve all faded out of view.
I look into the sky
(the love you need aint gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(the little things are finally coming true.)
Chorus
Telephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilight
O.k. so no--ones answering,
Well cant you just let it ring a little longer
Ill just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.
Chorus -- repeat

To illustrate to the Indians the advantages the white race had in the telephone I divided a body of warriors from Sitting Bull's camp into two parties and had them talk to each other over the telephone line.

Love & Kisses
Written by natalie cole
Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear
A song that I wrote last night, its so very hard my dear, you are there
And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just dont seem to sound right
Conversations getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go Ill call you when
My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time
In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime
Get my baby on that line, Im sending love and kisses on the telphone wire
I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific
Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine
(how you doing....) sure do miss ya, Id like to kiss ya
(what...) whats that you said my dear, this connections not so clear
But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way
Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time
Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time
Conversations gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go
Ill call you when my show is through, Im sending love and kisses
On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time
Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses

Life Line
Ten thousand miles away from someone
Ten thousand miles away from you
Whos your friend on the end of a telephone line
A telephone lines like a life line
You run me cool you run me hot love
You take me where I wanna be
Ship to shore, air to land
Seems its always the same
I always end up with a lame brain
Dont got talkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont go walkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont got talkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont go walkin in your sleep no
Youre ten thousand miles away
Livin it up in the paradise
Dont make it right, dont make it wrong
When you know youve got a friend
Whos at the other end
And a telephone lines like a life line
But a walk on the wire
It dont put out no fire
A telephone lines like a life line
Dont got talkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont go walkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont got talkin in your sleep no
Dont go givin it all away
Dont go walkin in your sleep no
Youre ten thousand miles away
When you wake youll find me sleepin
The clock dont stop when youre not here
But you know youve got a friend
Whos at the other end
And a telephone lines like a life line
A telephone line is a life line

Memory Of Telephone Calls
Are you waiting
for me to call.
All you will hear
is telephone silence.
Telephone silence
is a sound
I always hear.
I fear.
A telephone
is a hated thing
when it
does not ring.
And yet
so often
it has been
our only means
of communication.
The only means
by way of which
I could
communicate
with you.
Your letters
and cards
have given me
past
pleasure and joy.
But also
the sharp
separation
of long
or final goodbyes.
We often
spoke on
the telephone
later cell phones
because we
could not
come to
each others houses.
We could not
cross the threshold
of each others
doorsteps.
We could not
warm ourselves
by the hearthside
of each others company.
And now
the long cold
of winter separation
is upon us.
And now
the long chill
of bitter separation
has come again.

Love On The Telephone
Monday, tuesday, three days and more
Pretty soon you dont know anymore
Friday, the sixth day, saturday seems late
Dont know how much longer I can wait
Ooh, could ya wait til I get home
Ooh, we need to be alone
n I dont wanna lose
My love on the telephone
You make me nervous cause the lines engaged
I cant believe we let it get to this stage
Sittin here waitin for you to give me a sign
You know I got my heart on the line
Ooh, I know that I was wrong
Ooh, Ive been away too long
I cant stand to lose
My love on the telephone
Hello operator
You know that Ive been waitin on this call
I said, hey, operator
If youre givin me a bad time
Im gonna tear this phone right off the wall
Monday, tuesday, three days and more
Pretty soon I dont know anymore
Friday is the sixth day, saturday seems late
Dont know how much longer I can wait
Ooh, could ya wait til I get home
Ooh, we need to be alone
n I dont wanna lose
My love on the telephone
Ooh, Im runnin out of time
Ooh, my heart is on the line
n I dont wanna lose
My love on the telephone
Ooh, maybe I was wrong
Ooh, Ive been away too long
n I cant stand to lose
My love on the telephone
Ooh, could ya wait til I get home
Ooh, we need to be alone
n I dont wanna lose

Parasites On The Telephone
Everyday someone thinks of some new scam
to get money out of you.
How to fleece your bank account
with your consent.
Some tell you about a free holiday
to a fabulous destination
that you have been chosen for or won.
So listen to their speal.
Then they start asking about your bank details
and whether you have a credit card or not.
Once they start asking you that,
your best bet is to put the telephone down.
For once, you’ve given your details
over the telephone
you’ve given them permission
to fleece your account
for everything its worth and more.

Neon Telephone
Maybe she'll call me (Neon telephone)
Maybe she won't (Maybe she won't)
And if she don't (Neon telephone)
I'm gonna lose my mind (This time I'm gonna lose my mind)
It's kinda dark in here (Neon telephone)
I need a light (It's 2 bright)
I could use a sexy situation that would do my body just right
2night I'm gonna lose my mind
Sometimes her pride is like a big tall building
It hides the street that leads 2 a sweet mystery
(Sometimes) Sometimes we blow the chance 2 be so happy (Happy)
If we could only make up our minds
We could have such a good time
I know she wants me (Neon telephone)
I know she cares (I don't care)
Tell me what's stoppin' me (I don't care 2 know)
From runnin' right over there and runnin' my fingers through your hair
I'm goin' crazy, yes I am (Neon telephone)
Why can't U understand? (He needs 2 change)
I can't stop (can't stop) thinkin' about U, baby
This time I'm gonna lose my mind (This time I'm gonna lose it)
Why can't U call me, baby? Pick up the phone
U know your little Prince can't be alone
I need some of your sweet, sweet... oooh!
(Neon telephone)
(I don't care)
(Neon telephone)
Hello
How come U didn't call?
What, U think U're 2 good or something?
Can I talk 2 U?
Are U alone?

Ripplin Waters
I got rippling waters to wake me
To the morning, my woman and love
Our tall pine trees are pointing us easily to heaven above
Blue spruce flaming on the grate in the evening
Takes the chill away fine
Cut the telephone line and the storys the same
Theres an old red chair by our window
That we found at a sale down the lane
Some old women said they needed more room for the winter
People like to pull out the stuffing when they sit down
So it passes the time
Cut the telephone line and the storys the same
Blow like a bubble on a windy day
Start to flutter when I hear you say
That you feel to good to go away
And you make me feel fine
Youve made my world a warmer place
By the sparkle of your diamond face
On a frayed spot, put a little lace
And you make me feel fine
Warm as the mountain sunshine
On the edge of the snowline
In a meadow of columbine
Oh, little jennifer, Id give a penny for
What youve got on your mind
It seems like most of the time youre lying here dreaming.
Maybe in your vision youve seen how our mission is slightly less than divine
Cut the telephone line and the storys the same
Yep, now rippling waters flow through pipes
In the walls and theyre keeping me warm
And the closest Ive been tomy family for days is our music
You can silently stare in themorning sky
Its like hearing her calling my name
Cut the telephone line and the story might change

Working On It
Oh how Id love it girl, just you and me
Take the day and fly
But oh this job, its got the best of me
Tell you why, tell you why
Somebody above is in a desperate state
Some kind of urgency, the kind that wont wait
I say tomorrow, he say today
And the man in my head well he tell me no way
Keep working
I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
Will you leave me in peace while I get the work done
Cant you see Im working
Oh, oh Im working on it
Oh, oh Im working on it
Well theyre coming from above me
And theyre coming from below
Yea theyre in there right behind me
Everywhere that I go
And my buddy, hes screaming down the telephone line
He say gimme, gimme, gimme
I say I aint got the time
Oh, oh cant you see Im working on it
Oh, oh Im working on it
Yea, yea, oh tell em

Take the day and fly

Ripplin Waters
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the I want to live album, and has also been released on the the country roads collection album.
Got ripplin waters to wake me
To be more than my woman in love
All pine trees are pointin to see easily
To see heaven above
Blue spruce flamin on the grate in the evening
Takes the chill away fine
Cut the telephone line
The storys the same
Theres a worn red chair by the window
That you found at a sale down the way
When some old women said that they
Needed more room for the winter
People like pullin at the stuffing
When they sit down
So it passes the time
Cut the telephone line
The storys the same
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
Start to flutter when I hear you say
That you feel too good to go away
And you make me feel fine
And you made the world a warmer place
By the sparkle of your diamond face
On a gray spot with a little lace
And you make me feel fine
Warm as a mountain in sunshine
On the edge of the snowline
In a meadow of columbine
Oh little gennifer
Id give a penny for
What youve got on your mind
Seems like most of the time youre lyin there dreamin
Maybe in your vision you see how
Our mission is slightly less than divine
Cut the telephone line
The storys the same
Now, ripplin waters flow through the ceiling
And the walls there, their keepin me warm
And the closest Ive been with my family for days
Is my music
But the silently stare in the morning sky
Is like hearing her calling my name
Cut the telephone line
The story might change
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
Start to flutter when I hear you say
That you feel too good to go away
And you make me feel fine
Warm as a mountain sunshine
On the edge of the snowline
