Answer the Call

The darkness overtook the lights,
hanging from the Shelby bridge
Reaching out across the Cumberland to the East
And though the heat from this coffee cup, warms my fingers to the bone
My heart is far from Nashville, Tennessee
See my lover, she lies waiting over salt and sea, over ten thousand miles to what we call home
And the only constellation I can lean upon, Is knowing love, even when we're alone

Cause there's a sound I hear, that echoes through my bones
It's a bellowing cry I've heard before
Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home
Honey, I'll answer the call

Well, I know our words are tainted, with a crackle now and then
But I know it's something that we're both strong enough to take
When I say I love you, well it carries no less weight, than when you're safe in my arms upon our bed
Cause I'm here for awhile, and that's something I can't change,
If I could, you know well that I'd be there
There ain't nothing left to fear, darling I'm all yours
And I'll try my very best to let you know

That there's a sound I hear
That echoes through my bones
It's a bellowing cry I've heard before
Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home
Honey, I'll answer the call

There's a sound I hear
That echoes through my bones
It's a bellowing cry I've heard before
Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home,
Oh honey, I'll answer the call
Honey, I'll answer the call
Honey, I'll answer the call
