Call Me - John Martyn

I did not hear that call last night

I didn’t hear that call you might have made

Everytime you go away, I think you’ve gone away to stay

And I sit down

And I commit myself to a deepest despair

Everytime you move around, I think about moving

Running away, making running repairs

Everytime you run around, I think about another time

I think about moving

But then again just where

Everytime I go away, I think you’ve gone away to stay

I think about it, and I cry baby, cry baby, I cry baby

Because if you don’t call me, then I can’t call you

If you don’t call me, then I can’t call you, don’t know the number

If you don’t call me, then I can’t call you

If you don’t call me, tell me, what can I do

Cause if you took a little time to think

You’d know, I know you’d know

I will always be there by your right hand

And if you took a little time to think about it

You’d know

That I will always be there, will always try to understand

Don’t call me, can’t call you

If you don’t call me, I can’t call you, I haven’t got the number

Call me baby, or I can’t call you

Tell me love of my life, what can I do

Everytime you go away, I feel you’ve gone away to stay

I sit on down and feel so scared baby, scared baby, scared baby

Everytime you run around, I think about another town

I think about moving, making some running repairs

But if you don’t call me, then I can’t call you

If you don’t call me, what am I going to do, darling

If you don’t call me, I can’t call you, don’t have the number

You know that I can’t call

Any time you care to call my name, I will be waiting

Any time you care to call my name, I’ll be there, baby

Baby baby, when you call I might be sitting by the phone

I might be on the bedside

Any time you care to make a call, make sure I’m in

Make sure I’m home, make sure I’m home

Any time you care to use that telephone ring

Let that telephone ring, let it ring down

Let it ring down, like bells from heaven

Let that telephone ring, let it make that call

Let that telephone ring, make sure I’m at home

Make sure I’m home when that telephone rings

Cos if you don’t call, I’ll do the same to you, baby as you do to me

I won’t call you, you won’t know my number

I’ve had enough of this, darling don’t call or I won’t call you
