Answering Bell

Did I slip? I know I stumbled

Did I trip? 'cause I know I fell

All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow

But oh, girl I wish I knew you well

But oh, girl I wish I knew you well

But I'm just sayin' hi,

To your answering bell

Did I run? I thought I was walkin'

Through your inexhaustible gale

The names are changed but the constellations

Are still fallin'

Oh girl, if you could only tell

Oh girl, if you could only tell

But I'm just sayin' hi

Let your tears fall and touch my skin

Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail

Will collect them all for you in butterfly jars

And oh girl, I'll build your wishing well

But I'm just sayin' hi

To your answering bell

Did I sleep? 'cause I musta been dreamin'

Did I weep, 'cause I cried like hell

All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble

And oh girl, I'd tear 'em down myself

And oh girl, the stories they could tell

But I'm just saying hi
