Lyrics
Old switchboard in the empty hall Little lights that glow and fall Someone's calling, somewhere far Through the static and the stars Hold the line, hold the line I will wait here, you'll be fine Soft static singing in my ear Hold the line, I'm here Cables hang like silver rain Tangled in a quiet chain Every voice a drifting light Passing gently through the night Hold the line, hold the line I will wait here, you'll be fine Soft static singing in my ear Hold the line, I'm here No one needs to say a word Just the hum of being heard Two small lights across the dark Joined by one small spark Dawn will come and clear the wire Warm and slow like a fire Until then, let the signal stay Soft and low, not far away Hold the line, hold the line I will wait here, you'll be fine Soft static singing in my ear Hold the line, I'm here Hold the line
