CELL PHONE CALL FROM IRAQ

I got to know
do the winds still blow
through the aspens in the yard?
Do they whisper every night
like I used to do?

I got to know,
when it starts to snow,
does it still come down real hard,
and leave everything all sparkling
and new?

Chorus:
Tell me more, tell me more,
I mean what are cell phones for?
Just keep talkin, I dont care how much weve spent
(Just keep talkin, till the battery goes dead)
(Just keep talkin, or I think I might go mad)
You dont know what Ive been through,
Its such relief to talk to you,
And does Katy like the dolly that I sent?
(And does Katy say her prayers when its time for bed?)
(And tell Katy that I miss her very bad,
And ask Katy, does she ever miss her Dad?)

I got to know
does the creek still flow
down the valley to the town,
and when Grandma plays piano,
do you all sing?

I got to know,
does that drunk next door
ever turn his TV down,
and do roses fill the trellises
in the spring?

I got to know
does the gang still go
down to Joes Place Friday night,
and in the morning does the meadow
still fill with dew?

I got to know,
do the embers glow
with a warm and constant light?
How I wish I could be there right now
with you.
