Late Call
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The house goes quiet, and I wait
I keep the receiver by my head
Nobody else could make me stay up
Just to hear the words you said

[Chorus]
Willow, you call and the night softens
Nothing else sounds quite the same
There's a hush that comes when you're talking
I could listen all night, Willow, say my name

[Verse 2]
Some folks talk to fill the silence
You talk and the silence means something true
I hold the line a little longer
Just to stay closer to you

[Pre-chorus]
The clock keeps time but I don't mind it
Your voice is slow, it's low, it's kind
I feel the pull before you say it

[Chorus]
Willow, you call and the night softens
Nothing else sounds quite the same
There's a hush that comes when you're talking
I could listen all night, Willow, say my name

[Bridge]
No screen between us, just a wire
Just your breath and mine combined
Whatever hour, however far
You're the one I keep in mind

[Chorus]
Willow, you call and the night softens
Nothing else sounds quite the same
There's a hush that comes when you're talking
I could listen all night, Willow, say my name

[Outro]
I'll set the phone back on the table
Still warm from holding you so near
