lyrics

The Lines
by John Beccia

Please , don't you tie up the lines
Please, please, please won't you give me some time
Somebody might be trying, trying to call direct
Somewhere there's someone for me. Please call collect

So please, don't you tie up the lines
Please, please, please give me some kind of sign
Somebody might be calling, trying to break on thru
Somewhere there's someone for me. Could it be you ?

Once we were so lost in love, till it all fell thru
Strugglin' to say good-bye to love so true
This world's so cruel

So please, don't you tie up the lines
Please, please, please now I'm searchin' to find
Somebody to connect with. Communication, please
Somewhere there's someone out there waiting for me
Don't you tie up the lines

Please, don't you tie up the lines
Please, please, please, I'm goin' out of my mind
Reachin' out for somebody.Placing an urgent call
Somewhere there's someone for me, holding it all

Please, don't you tie up the lines
Please, please, please, this hurt is drivin' me blind
Searchin' for new tomorrows. See what the future brings
Somewhere there's someone for me, trying to ring
Don't you tie up the lines
