Craig Cardiff - Dearest When You Called lyrics

Dearest when you called my what a relief
The photo from the phone and
The counting of the teeth
The most terrible part was how
Calm inside everyone was
The politics of fear, the business of cheap
You wonder if the people up top are asleep
Numb to the fact of how fat we’ve grown
Leave your name and number nobody’s home
The islands of ports and
The tunnel safe clear
The tv reports of baby in tears
We know who to watch by
The length of your nose
Leave your name and number no one’s home
Dearest when you called my what a relief
The photo from the phone and
The counting of the teeth how did you know
Leave your name and number no one’s home
