Oh the worlds asleep
No singing of the birds the buzzing of the honeybees
Oh the empty trees
The last time that I saw you they were evergreen
I know it's not a crime
But I can't help feeling guilty
That I don't have the time
While you're waiting for me
If I would have known
That you needed someone to talk to I'd pick up the phone
It cuts through my bones
If you're ever lonely, I'll take the short way home
The short way home
The short way home
Wherever I will go
When everything's too fast you tell me, take it slow
But oh I miss you so
Like the winter needs the cold from all the falling snow
I know it's not a crime
But I can't help feeling guilty
That I don't have the time
While you're waiting for me
If I would have known
That you needed someone to talk to I'd pick up the phone
It cuts through my bones
If you're ever lonely, I'll take the short way home
The short way home
The short way home
If I would have known
That you needed someone to talk to I'd pick up the phone
It cuts through my bones
If you're ever lonely, I'll take the short way home
