Operator... Get Me Sweden - Darren Hanlon

If at all remotely possible don’t you think I’d try

If not for fear of falling don’t you think I’d fly

13 000 miles across perilous land and sea

But instead I’ll sit right here and miss her terribly

But I know that you can help from what your career choice is

For you are in the business of connecting peoples voices

Should I tell you where all this is leading?

Operator… get me Sweden

I could express these feelings succinctly in a letter

But to do them justice to speak them would be better

While a moon pushes me down to sleep a sun comes up and starts her

I hope this feeling stays preserved in me just like the Wasa

Who planted this Garden of Eden?

Operator… get me Sweden

Use any methods you require to get her on the wire

I know you understand me you’ve heard it all before

Because you are this earths' long distance love ambassador

To speak to her tonight I’ll take anything

By means of fiber optics or two tin cans on a string

I really must apologize for my compulsive behavior

One left his heart in San Francisco mine’s in Scandinavia

Via one who’s communicatively keyed-in

Operator… get me Sweden
