lyrics

She said, “Baby, how you doing tonight?”
And, “What kind of stuff do ya like?”
Her voice sound like a photo album
I kept quiet, I didn’t say nothin’
She was sweet, she took her time
“Stay on the line, honey, it’s your dime.
I don’t mind being the one who talks.
I’m here to tell ya anything you want...”
Then she told me ‘bout the town where she from
And some young hunk poppin’ bubble gum
Swept through her life just like a hurricane
That's how she ended up in the city of angels

I found her card at The Calando
The well taste just like letting go
I only order cold bottled beer
And tear the calendar by the year
Then she asked me why it was I called
Almost hung up and then I paused
When she said, “Trust me, I know how lonesome
This city gets when you ain’t got no one but the angels...”

Two lost voices in the night
Found ourselves on the other side
Another stranger with a candle still burnin’
This late you’re either earning or yearning
I was wounded and I felt misplaced
Getting ready, throw it all away
Too many desolate decades
Wrapped up in a phantom embrace...
