lyrics

Hello, Maria, this is me
Calling from a dusty payphone
Cacti by my side
The whispers of the night
And your answering machine

I made a friend the other day
She's just as lonesome as me
We talk about our dreams
Over cheap wine and cheese
We're taking it slow

How's your daughter, little Julie
Are you getting along alright
I think of her sometimes
The bedtime stories and the rhymes
Such a bright young thing

Well, I hope you're doing well
Though it's hard for me to say
Nothing's gonna change
My hopes are still in vain
Stop loving him

Anyway, I'll be off now
All I wanted was some sky
I'm holding back these tears
You were always so dear
I guess this is goodbye
