Radio Operator

Radio operator

in a tiny foreign room

we can hear you

now and later

calling out and coming through



Radio operator

you're a boy so far from home

with a signal like a heartbeat

not afraid but so alone



Where are the messages for me?

The secret code, the parts unknown

I'll ride the signal to the world

and to the girl in San Antone



Radio operator

do you ever think of me?

'cause I'm a gleam on some horizon

just too far away to see



Radio operator

there are still messages to send

from the future

from the present

and it never has to end



Radio operator

I am calling like a friend

from my future

from your memory

and it never has to end



This message will not end
