You don't answer
my telephone calls
You put new locks on the door
You've shut me out,
you've shut me off,
you've shut me down,
but this can't go on no more.
What do we do with the life we once had?
We take this one last step further.
I need answers to my questions,
like what do we do now
with each other?
The dust has settled
and the storm has blown out
Are you ready to talk to me now?
After the flood
and the water has gone down
Are you ready,
ready to talk to me now?
Well, I guess words are all
that we have left
When we're burned
down to the soul
There was a time your words were kind
And they warmed my heart
But our conversations turned so cold
Maybe the life we have
will make more sense
We can hear each other's voices
There's no honest truth inside
Cold shoulders make cold choices
The dust has settled
and the storm has blown out
Are you ready to talk to me now?
After the flood
and the water has gone down
Are you ready, ready to talk to me now?
The dust has settled
and the storm has blown out
Are you ready to talk to me now?
After the flood
and the water has gone down
Are you ready, ready to talk to me now?
Talk to me baby, talk to me honey
I'm ready to listen, just let it all out
Talk to me baby, talk to me darling
Are you ready, are you ready,
talk to me now
I'm ready to listen
I'm ready and willing
No need for suspicion
I don't mind if you shout
I swear that I'm listening
Even if you're just whispering
Just say that you're ready, ready, ready
To talk to me now, now, now, now,
now
You
