Distant Love (No Telephone)

from Distant Love (No Telephone) by Jumping Fences

lyrics

Guitar with no strings stands in the corner
outside no wind for a kite
Love waits like an unopened letter
and it feels dark as night

Distant love, distant love (no telephone)
Distant love, distant love (no telephone)

No words fill the heart of a poet
seems all his stories are told
Papers lie blank on the table
no balm for wounded souls

Distant love, distant love (no telephone)
Distant love, distant love (no telephone)

Like the sea without salt or waves
Like a bee with no sting
Like an ache but no pain
Like a cloud with no rain

Judge in a courtroom is sleeping
plea from the floor waits unheard
There’s no room for the drifters
no pity, no soothing word

Distant love, distant love (no telephone)
Distant love, distant love (no telephone)
