Lyrics
“When I Call Your Name”
I rushed home from work like I always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When I walked through the front door my whole life was changed
Cause nobody answered when I called your nameA note on the table that told me goodbye
It said you’d grown weary of living a lie
Your love has ended but mine still remains
But nobody answers when I call your nameOh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when I call your nameOh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when I call your name
Oh nobody answers when I call your name
