Long distance Last good-bye, can't groove it One last try, it's all over We didn't even cry All I know is that the world came between us And the love got left behind No news flash, funeral Half-mast flags on the day that our love died I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye So I just called to say good-bye Did you burn my pictures yet? Anything to try to forget it's all over All I can do to stay on the line All I know is that the world came between us And the love got left behind No news flash, funeral Half-mast flags on the day that our love died I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye So I just called to say good-bye We both know how hard it is for both of us to try We both know how hot it is in Texas in July So what am I supposed to say? How's the weather anyway? This time I called to say good-bye Who'd have thought it would end like this? Without even a good-bye kiss No one could say we didn't try the years flew past We tried to make it last But the love got left behind No news flash, funeral Half-mast flags on the day that our love died I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye So I just called to say good-bye I just called to say there's nothing really left to say So I just called to say good-bye
