He swore blind on the phone
strangers living here alone.
Now he's left in a state
where they can operate.
and he says when he phones
"how's the kids and how's your home"
and he tries to reach me
but he wants more than he can see
No one's asking his advice
the working class in paradise
and she's flown over here,
and no one's fighting back the tears.
and I wish that he'd show
that I've got somewhere to go.
but he's frightened and free
and he wants more than he can see
It's the end of his day
its the morning here, hooray.
and he calls and he says
"I'm in the office up the stairs
and keep after it , son
just do and don't do what I've done
and don't worry about me
I just want more than I can see
"
