Call Letter Blues lyrics

by Bob Dylan

Well, I walked all night long
Listenin` to them church bells tone
Yes, I walked all night long
Listenin` to them church bells tone
Either someone needing mercy
Or maybe something I`ve done wrong

Well, your friends come by for you
I don`t know what to say
Well, your friends come by for you
I don`t know what to say
I just can`t face up to tell `em
Honey, you just went away

Well, children cry for mother
I tell them, `Mother took a trip`
Well, children cry for mother
I tell them, `Mother took a trip`
Well, I walk on pins and needles
I hope my tongue don`t slip

Well, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
Yes, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
But the sun goes around the heavens
And another day just drives on through

Way out in the distance
I know you`re with some other man
Way out in the distance
I know you`re with some other man
But that`s alright, baby
You know I always understand

Call girls in the doorway
All giving me the eye
Call girls in the doorway
All giving me the eye
But my heart`s just not in it
I might as well pass right on by

My ears are ringin`
Ringin` like empty shells
My ears are ringin`
Ringin` like empty shells
Well, it can`t be no guitar player
It must be convent bells
