Rosanne Cash - Radio Operator lyrics

Radio operator, in a tiny foreign room We can hear you now and later Calling out and coming through Radio operator, you're a voice so far from home With a signal like a heartbeat Not afraid but so alone Where are the messages for me The secret codes for 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 Where are the messages for me The secret codes for parts unknown I'll ride the signal to the world And to the girl in San Antone ---- Instrumental Interlude ---- 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
