The Late Night Phone Call

So what's up? She asked, Turning Dave down. It's me once again Please Dear, don't frown And don't laugh too much either At the worst thing for sure I got from your haystack Seems there's still yet no cure. About your Mom... She won't answer my letter But you wouldn't have anything to do with that Could you help and make it better? So how long's it been? She asked, Not really knowing. Too many moons Oh dear, perhaps I should be going 'though let's hang on a bit longer Since we don't talk real much Anything I can do for you? Should we try to stay in touch? Do you need some help for something That you and yourself can't handle? For the sake of los gemelos Do you ever light a candle? So where've you been? She asked, Too tired to fight the yawn. Oh here and there and all over Yes Dear, someday we'll yak 'til dawn But, do you have enough to live on? And your children are they well? Is there a man to fix the broken things? It's okay for you to tell. Oh well, you're sleepy now You need to go to bed Sweet dreams to make you happy, Dear After the line goes dead.
