She didn't answer the letters 
She didn't return my calls 
All the sweet nothings, deep meaning and pleadings still whisper around in the lines 
Running north... 

She didn't come to the playground 
She didn't pick up the phone 
So all that I think about coming to England is lost in the humming of lines 
Running north.... 

Can't you hear? 
Can't you hear? 
Can't you hear? 
Can't you hear? 

She's in a car in the country 
I'm in a house in the town 
She doesn't know of those telegram notes 
Of yelling and swearing and crying 

Can't you hear? 
Can't you hear? 
I'm talking to nothing but time 
I'm talking to you in the lines 
Running north...
