240103: Which Side Of The Phone

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Sleeps in as late as he can
Ever since all this began
Folks on outside can't understand
Why he sleeps in as late as he can

Calls up whenever he can
Talking through all his big plans
Eighteen more months of free time on his hands
So he calls up whenever he can

The hard truth is closer than it may appear
Backwards reflections in a stainless steel mirror
First thing each morning how it feels in your bones
Depends on which side of the phone

Answer whenever I can
Let him know I give a damn
Course I'm real busy but I'm a free man
So I answer whenever I can
