Calling You – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Some place better than where you've been

A coffee machine that needs some fixing

And a little cafe just around the bend

Aaaaaah

I am calling you

Can't you hear me?

Aaaaaaaah

I am calling you

A hot dry wind blows right through me

Your baby's crying and I can't sleep

But we all know a change is coming

Coming closer, sweet release

Aaaaaaaah

I am calling you

Can't you hear me?

Aaaaaaaah

I am calling you

Ooooh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Aaaaaah

I am calling you

Aaaaaah

I am calling you

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Some place better than where you've been

A coffee machine that needs some fixing

And a little cafe just around the bend

A hot dry wind blows right through me

Your baby's crying, I can't sleep

Oh, but we all, we all, we all know a change is coming

Coming closer, sweet release, sweet release, sweet

Aaaaaah

I am calling you

I know, I know you hear me

Aaaaaah

I am calling you

Oh

Oh
