L Y R I C S: I'm on watch here So close your eyes and get some rest I'm here to watch your heart It's been faulty from the start I'm the ribs in your chest I'm not an angel I never mean to make you cry Jumping through my hoops With dissention in the troops And a smile and a sigh What's that over your shoulder? Fear of getting older Stay with me Sing me a love song From your heart or from the phone book It don't matter to me I'm an apple, you're the tree I won't fall when you're shook What's that over your shoulder? Fear of getting older Stay with me It ends with a kiss It ends with a tear It ends with the lights out Bathed in our fear Tell me nonsense I don't want sincere I saw the lightning Cut through the last winter sky of the year Stay with me Keep with me
C'è un silenzio che sa di casa Occhi chiusi Il cielo che riflette il colore triste del mio cuore Non me ne sono mai andato Ogni sera ti vengo a salutare Prima di immergermi nei sogni Nel mio cuore sento i battiti del tuo mare
"The Phone Book" I'm on watch here So close your eyes and get some rest I'm here to watch your heart It's been faulty from the start I'm the ribs in your chest I'm not an angel I never mean to make you cry Jumping through my hoops With dissention in the troops And a smile and a sigh What's that over your shoulder? Fear of getting older Stay with me Sing me a love song From your heart or from the phone book It don't matter to me I'm an apple, you're the tree I won't fall when you're shook What's that over your shoulder? Fear of getting older Stay with me It ends with a kiss It ends with a tear It ends with the lights out Bathed in our fear Tell me nonsense I don't want sincere I saw the lightning Cut through the last winter sky of the year Stay with me Keep with me
"...stay with me..." Thinkin about people who have not stayed...😔💕 What beautiful lyrics...what an amazing voice...what an expressive guitar sound...what a great song! This song has been with me for a long time. Love it ❤💚💙💛💜
First time I have heard this where have I been this song is beautiful, as someone else said a masterpiece. Hope they include it again in their set lists.
I kind of like that they fly under the radar compared to other bands, for me this is why I like them so much. If they were mainstream I wouldn't like them as much, not because I'm some sort of hipster but because I feel they operate really well at the level they are.

please, i dont understand the reference. how is a phonebook relationed with a love song? please explain. maybe it doesnt mean nothing. like just get the song from anywhere.
+Eduardo Gallegos the way I understand it, the point is that it doesn't matter what she sings about, he just wants to hear her. for example we use it in my language like 'he's got such an amazing voice that he could be singing random names from the phone book and I'd still love it'. there can be something more to it though
The beauty and poetry in these lyrics reminds me a bit of the late great Leonard Cohen. Not the voice tho. This mans voice here is much better then Leonard's. Sorry Leonard, still love you.
