I'd Rather Have a Call
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[accordion intro]

I want to come back home
I don't want to live alone
I am staying at the beach
I try to keep in reach
But I never hear the phone

The waves bury the sound
Or maybe you don't call
There is no one else around
If I ever hear the ring
I will race on down the hall

It is all I want to hear
I hear birds and wind all day
at night only the rain
But I never feel you near
I always feel the pain

[instrumental]

Every day you drift away
I stay here by the sea 
I stare at the horizon
I am hoping for the day
the tide will set me free

Today I'll see a sail
Today I'll get some mail
A passing boat will hail
But I'd rather have a call
I'd rather have a call

It is always all I want
I love you most of all
I love you most of all
I'd rather have a call
I'd rather have a call

[instrumental]

Today I'll see a sail
Today I'll get some mail
A passing boat will hail
But I'd rather have a call
I'd rather have a call

I love you most of all
I'd rather have a call

I'd rather have a call

[instrumental]

I'd Rather Have a Call (the tide)

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
