Copper and a Dial Tone
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
I found one coin left in my coat
dropped it in the slot for you
dialled you in the dark alone
just to hear the line ring through

[Pre-chorus]
The box goes cold around my hand
the glass is fogged, the street is bare
but none of that matters when

[Chorus]
Naomi, the coin drops slow for you
every time I call you're worth the wait
you're the voice that pulls me through
Naomi, you're never running late

[Verse 2]
Other nights I'd hang up first
scared of what my voice might show
now I feed the box again
just to let you hear me slow

[Bridge]
No one taught me how to say it plain
so I say it with the coins I spend
every call's the same request
stay upon the other end

[Chorus]
Naomi, the coin drops slow for you
every time I call you're worth the wait
you're the voice that pulls me through
Naomi, you're never running late

[Outro]
One more coin left in my coat
I'll spend it too, to hear you glow
