Songtext The call Regina Spektor

The call

It started out as a feeling,
which then grew into a hope,
which then turned into a quiet thought,
which then turned into a quiet word,
and then that word grew louder and louder
'til it was a battle cry:
I'll come back when you call me,
no need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
as you head off to the war.
Pick a star on the dark horizon
and follow the light.

You'll come back when it's over,
no need to say goodbye (x2)

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet,
but just because they can't feel it too
doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'til they're before your eyes

You'll come back when they call you,
no need to say goodbye (x2)
