Roseanne Cash – Radio Operator lyrics

Radio operator
in a tiny foreign room
we can hear you
now and later
calling out and coming through

Radio operator
you're a boy so far from home
with a signal like a heartbeat
not afraid but so alone

Where are the messages for me?
The secret code, the parts unknown
I'll ride the signal to the world
and to the girl in San Antone

Radio operator
do you ever think of me?
'cause I'm a gleam on some horizon
just too far away to see

Radio operator
there are still messages to send
from the future
from the present
and it never has to end

Radio operator
I am calling like a friend
from my future
from your memory
and it never has to end

This message will not end
