Sleeping With the Telephone Lyrics

Faith:
I knew who he was when I took his name
In somehow knowin'
Its just not the same late at night
He knows the danger
But he does what he does
He call it duty
But I call it love
So here I am
While he's gone
To some foreign land

Both:
And I cry
Cause I'm alone
And the nights get so cold and long
And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm sleeping with the telephone

Reba:
The yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate
Always reminds me that someone's awake
Just like me
I hear the sirens
And I watch the news
He laughs and leaves with his gun
And his blue uniform
And I pray God keeps him safe from harm
Both:
And I cry
Cause I'm alone
And the nights get so cold and long
And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm sleeping with the telephone

Reba:
I loose him in my darkest dreams
Faith:
And my blood runs cold
And my heart skips a beat

Reba:
So I get up
I can't take anymore

Both:
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
But everyday I love him more

Both:
And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm sleeping with the telephone

Faith:
Something awakes me from where he should be
I reach for him....the telephone rings
