Lines Running North

She didn't answer the letters
She didn't return my calls
All the sweet nothings
Deep meaning and pleadings still whisper
Around in the lines running north

She didn't come to the playground
She didn't pick up the phone
So all that I think about coming to England
Is lost in the humming of lines
Running north can't you hear?
Can't you hear? Can't you hear?
Can't you hear?

She's in a car in the country
I'm in a house in the town
She doesn't know of those telegram notes
Of yelling and swearing and crying

Can't you hear? Can't you hear?
I'm talking to nothing but time
I'm talking to you in the lines
Running north
