Alarm Call - The Correspondents

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.

I know exactly what to do

I make the call and sit by you

Check your heartbeat against mine

And mop your brow from time to time.

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.

When I’m the person by your side

I’m your mentor, I’m your guide.

Upon me you can rely

When you’re high and when you’re dry.

The irony is that my recovery is always slower than yours.

You’re back on your feet in no time

When I’m left floored.

Haunted by the sound of your alarm call.

Living in fear of your next fall.

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.

I know exactly what to do

I make the call and sit by you

Check your heartbeat against mine

But there’s no trace of it this time.

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.

I never asked when you were here

Because it seemed so crystal clear

That it was you who needed me

That was the way it had to be.

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.

Be my mentor, be my guide.

Show me when to run and when to hide.

I know you would’ve known just what to do

With all the things that life could throw at you.

My siren will remain on for a while.

Waiting soundproof by a timid little smile.

I’m still haunted by your alarm call.

Without the fear of your next fall.

Where have you gone?

I am calling on you.

My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.

So many moods that you could change

So many thoughts you’d rearrange

So many rules I know you’d bend

So all good things will find their end.
