Description
The last song in my post 9-11-2001 series of songs. This is about the last cellphone call to a friend. Followed by lots of walking around, between volunteering. Infinite restlessness. And then days without them... and only that last call to remember and replay.
Other songs in my 9/11 series:
I Will Love
New Holy Land
Was There Once A Time
(See: Journal from the Streets to read a photographic journal about my 9/11 experiences.)

Lyrics
LAST CALL
Each day: Morning.
Replayed warnings.
Words I still repeat... can't escape.
One call, hurried.
One voice, worried.
Know I love you.
Be safe.
And I search the skyline.
Can't remember why.
Was it you who told me once
not to trust my eyes?
Deep below the buildings
shadows stretch beyond.
Will the streets I used to walk along
help me carry on?
Each day: Evening.
Walking. Grieving.
Never been this late coming home.
Endless phoning.
Tireless roaming.
Know we love you.
You're not alone.
And I search inside me.
Can't remember why.
Was it me who told you once
faith lived in your smile?
If I search the future,
will it still confound?
Do the words I've stored from yesterday
help me carry on?
Over to you,
I give my everything.
Over from you,
I get my energy.
Once the sky looked silent and clear,
until I heard you there, waiting...
Until I come
over to you...
Each day: Morning.
Replayed warnings.
Words I still repeat... can't escape.
One call, hurried.
One voice, worried.
Know I love you.
Be safe.
And I search the skyline.
Can't remember why.
Was it you who told me once
not to trust my eyes?
Deep below the buildings
shadows stretch beyond.
Will the streets I used to walk along
help me carry on?
Each day: Evening.
Walking. Grieving.
Never been this late coming home.
Endless phoning.
Tireless roaming.
Know we love you.
You're not alone.
And I search inside me.
Can't remember why.
Was it me who told you once
faith lived in your smile?
If I search the future,
will it still confound?
Do the words I've stored from yesterday
help me carry on?
Over to you,
I give my everything.
Over from you,
I get my energy.
Once the sky looked silent and clear,
until I heard you there, waiting...
Until I come
over to you...
Tobin, this collection of 9/11 songs is very touching. Thanks for the opportunity to listen.
