Mark Heard - Just The Same lyrics

When the phone rang Sunday night I was surprised to hear your voice And a hundred miles of wire Brought in your thoughts, and I rejoiced And then we said good-bye And I hung up the telephone It seemed like you were here But in an instant you were gone And I don't know what you're doing And the distance is to blame Though I ain't in Mississippi Still I miss you just the same Well you know you're just as real when you're here When you're away But it sure is hard to realize Though I try the live-long day If I forget your face When space and time make you a dream How real the Lord must be Though he remains unseen And I don't know what you're doing And the distance is to blame Though I ain't in Mississippi Still I miss you just the same
