Losing all my friends losing them to drinking and to driving Losing all my friends and I want them back Slipping out the back, Did you really think they wouldn't notice? Slipping out the back In the pouring rain He loved his wife Loved her and was faithful to her always Buried by the kids in the summer sun Praying for his life huddled in a brig all with his shipmates Praying for his life they dropped a bomb What you waiting for? Searching for your brother In an empty room across the hall Is he coming back? Listening at night Waiting for a sound to come up the stairs Listening at night For the slamming door in the car park Call him up this summer on the phone Need to know what it feels like again Summer skin Found another lover Telling me on the phone a line I'll call him up again Call him up again... Time he pulled his shades up Looking cross the ocean for a signal Waiting for a body in a open box They don't send you letters They telephone you They don't send you letters But you're waiting for them You write him. Yeah. Call him up this summer on the phone Need to know what it feels like again I'll call him up again Call him up this summer on the phone Need to know what it feels like again
