Mm

Mm-Mmm

Verse 1

I sit by the box on the table all night,

Watching the glowing glass flicker with light.

I sent you my heart through the ether and line

But no word comes back to this cold heart of mine.

Chorus

Oh, you left me alone on the wire, my dear,

With nary a whisper to lend me your ear.

The signal is dead, though the light's burning clear,

You left me alone on the wire.

Interlude

"Honey... you know, I sat by that little screen all evening long. I sent my message out into the night, just praying you'd send a word back. I saw the little mark saying you heard what I had to say... but the

room just stayed quiet. You didn't say goodbye, you didn't say you were busy. You just left a fellow hanging on the line..."

Chorus

Oh, you left me alone on the wire, my dear,

With nary a whisper to lend me your ear.

The signal is dead, though the light's burning clear,

You left me alone on the wire.

Outro

Alone on the wire...

Oh, so dead and clear...
