Ring ring, baby, come on pick up the phone
I'm so far away
And I don't know when I'm coming home

Baby don't worry if the tide should turn
Before I do
'Cause I've got a lot of life to see
Baby don't worry when I take so long to call
I've been away so long
Down in the city

Ring ring, baby, come on pick up the phone
I'm so far away
And I don't know when I'm coming home
Ring ring, operator, please check this line
I'm a long-distance call
And I think I'm running out of time

Baby don't worry if the winter turns
To spring again
The road that I follow leads to you
Baby don't worry when the mailman passes by
I've got a message for you
I'm gonna call tonight
I hope I've got your number right

Ring ring, baby, come on pick up the phone
I'm so far away

I'm a long-distance call
