Only When You Call Lyrics & Chords By Oysterband

If I seem to talk too Loud
If I seem a bit too proud
If I talk incessantly
Of them and us and liberty
And a useless solidarity …

If I've got too much to say
About things too far away
If it's time to stop and see
The circumstance of you and me
With some truth and clarity …

Only when you call do I feel the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call

When it's hard to stand by me
When I test your charity
When my shoulder bears a chip
That wears down relationships
Can we say it's only history?

Only when you call do I feel the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call

She says: Love is as rich as the sea
With strange things swimming inside it
And people can drown and you're going to go down
If your head and your heart are divided

Only when you call do I feet the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call
Only when you call
