It's a long distance phone
and I feel so alone here without her
It's a crime and a shame,
He's just a face in the crowd
Where the traffic roars loud
But don't you know he'd be proud
Mister, can you find it in your heart
Cause the times happen slow,
And I ain't got the money to call her
cause I've been turned down before
This type of pain is kind of hard to explain
But the feeling's the same as not dying
You put the change in my hand,
you're the world's kindest man
You'll never know what you've done
For this poor mother's son
A thirsty man just got a cold cup of water
Ah, mister, can you find it in your heart
Cause the time's happenin' slow,
And I ain't got the money to call her
Mister, can you find it in your heart
Cause the time's happenin' slow,
And I ain't got the money to call her
Mister, can you find it in your heart
Cause the times have been slow
And I ain't got no money to call her
