(Jeff Lynne)
I was searching on a one-way street I was hoping for a chance to meet I was waiting for the operator on the line (She's gone so long) What can I do? (Where could she be?) Don't know what I'm gonna do I gotta get back to you. Slow down, sweet talking woman You got me running ,ou got me searching Hold on, sweet talking lover It's so sad if that's the way it's over . Sweet talking woman. I was walking, many days go by I was thinking, about the lonely nights Communication breakdown all around (She's gone so long) What can I do? (Where could she be now?) Don't know what I'm gonna do I gotta get back to you. Slow down, sweet talking woman You got me running ,ou got me searching Hold on, sweet talking lover It's so sad if that's the way it's over . Sweet talking woman. I've been living on a dead-end street I've been asking everybody I meet Insufficient data coming through (She's gone so long) What can I do? (Where could she be?) Don't know what I'm gonna do I gotta get back to you. Slow down, sweet talking woman You got me running ,ou got me searching Hold on, sweet talking lover It's so sad if that's the way it's over . Sweet talking woman.

The city streets are empty now (The lights don't shine no more) And so the songs are way down low. A sound that flows into my mind (The echoes of the daylight) Of everything that is alive (In my blue world). I turn to stone, when you are gone,I turn to stone Turn to stone, when you coming home? I can't go on. The dying embers of a night (A fire that slowly fades till dawn) Still glow upon the wall so bright. The tired streets that hide away (From here to everywhere they go) Roll past my door into the day (In my blue world). I turn to stone, when you are gone,I turn to stone Turn to stone, when you coming home? I can't go on. I turn to stone, when you are gone I turn to stone. Yes I'm turning to stone 'cos you ain't coming home Why ain't you coming home if I'm turning to stone You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on Yes, I'm turning, I'm turning I'm turning to stone. The dancing shadows on the wall (The two-step in the hall) Are all I see since you've been gone. Through all I sit here and I wait (I turn to stone, I turn to stone) You will return again some day (To my blue world). I turn to stone, when you are gone,I turn to stone Turn to stone, when you coming home? I can't go on. I turn to stone, when you are gone I turn to stone. I turn to stone, when you are gone,I turn to stone Turn to stone, when you coming home? I can't go on. I turn to stone, when you are gone I turn to stone.
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven Across the water on a 747 Yeah, we're living in In a modern world. And pretty soon she's really got the notion Of flying out across the big blue ocean Yeah, we're living in In a modern world. Talk is cheap on satellite But all I get is -static- Information, I'm still here Re-dial on automatic. Calling America (can't get a message through) Calling America (that's what she said to do) Calling America (that's where she has to be) Calling America (she left a number for me) Calling America. But I'm just talking to a satellite Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night Yeah, we're living in In a modern world. All I had to do was pick up the phone I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone Yeah, we're living in In a modern world. She left a number I could call But no one's there, no one at all There must be something going wrong That number just rings on and on. Calling America (can't get a message through) Calling America (that's what she said to do) Calling America (that's where she has to be) Calling America (she left a number for me) Calling America. Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while Guess she's missing me across the miles Yeah, we're living in In a modern world. Calling America (can't get a message through) Calling America (that's what she said to do) Calling America (that's where she has to be) Calling America (she left a number for me) Calling America.
