The Call Tab

by Regina Spektor


                   
It started out as a feeling
                     
Which then grew into a hope
                        
Which then turned into a quiet thought
                            
Which then turned into a quiet word

  
                     
And then that word grew louder and louder
    /            
'Til it was a battle cry
 /     
I'll come back
           
When you call me
               
No need to say goodbye



                        
Just because everything's changing
                                      
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
                        
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
                     
As you head off to the war


                  
Pick a star on the dark horizon
     /       
And follow the light
/        
You'll come back 
           
When it's over
                
No need to say goodbye
 /                    
You'll come back 
           
When it's over
                /
No need to say goodbye


                       
Now we're back to the beginning
                                   
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
                           
But just because they can't feel it too
                               
Doesn't mean that you have to forget


                      
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
    /                 
'Til they're before your eyes
 /       
You'll come back
             
When they call you
               
No need to say goodbye
 /      
You'll come back
             
When they call you
                     (Alt. /Eb)
No need to say goodbye
