Dial Tone Waltz Across Nine Hours

Lyrics

It's breakfast here, it's midnight where you are
I'm dancing round the kitchen with the phone
You're yawning on the pillow, grinning down the line
Two clocks, and neither one's at home

Count it out, one-two-three
Nine hours wide and you waltz with me

Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Spin me round, I'll spin you back
Your goodnight is my good morning
We keep time on a telephone track
Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Step and turn and step again
I'll meet you in the middle of the ocean
Where the morning and the midnight blend

I hum the tune, you hum the other part
The toast pops up, you laugh out loud
A hundred little silly things we only say to us
Float down the wire like a cloud

Count it out, one-two-three
Nine hours wide and you waltz with me

Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Spin me round, I'll spin you back
Your goodnight is my good morning
We keep time on a telephone track
Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Step and turn and step again
I'll meet you in the middle of the ocean
Where the morning and the midnight blend

One day there'll be no line between us
Just a kitchen and a floor
And I'll hold your hand for the very same waltz
And never need the phone anymore

Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Spin me round, I'll spin you back
Your goodnight is my good morning
We keep time on a telephone track
Dial tone waltz, across nine hours
Step and turn and step again
I'll meet you in the middle of the ocean
Where the morning and the midnight blend

One-two-three, one-two-three
Goodnight, good morning, dance with me
