Request Line, Quiet Hours
by Cassio Lune
“I wrote this thinking about late-night radio and the one person who calls in at half past three. The drums are soft so the phone light can do the talking.”

Lyrics
The phone light blinks at half past three Somebody wants a song Not for the hit or the loud parade Just something to get them along A truck driver on the long grey road A nurse on her break alone A kid who can't sleep for the thoughts in his head All calling the late night home Play it slow, play it low Dedicate it to nobody you know The request line's open in the quiet hours Somebody out there hears it too I spin the record, lower the lights Say your name or say no name The needle drops and the room gets warm And no one is quite the same Play it slow, play it low Dedicate it to nobody you know The request line's open in the quiet hours Somebody out there hears it too One more call, one more song Soft static, soft and long You don't have to say a word Just let the music be heard Play it slow, play it low Dedicate it to nobody you know The request line's open in the quiet hours Somebody out there hears it too Somebody out there hears it too
