And I know we were both too young
Way back when we had our thing
And you're not the one that I think of
Every time that the telephone rings

And I know that what we had
Would not be called love by the ones who know
And I know it's been many years
And a hundred love-affairs ago

I know all that so well
But I also do know this:
Calleth you, cometh I
And that's just how it is
And how it's always been
It's where my reason stops
And something else comes in
I know it doesn't make sense, but still...
Calleth you, cometh I
-And that's how it is

And I know we became restrained
Every time we were among friends
And I know how it was last time
And how bitterly it always ends
And I know we were both too young
To know what real love would be like
And I know that our communication
Didn't always work out right

I know all that so well
But I also do know this:
Calleth you, cometh I
And that's just how it is
And how it's always been
It's where my reason stops
And something else comes in
I know it doesn't make sense, but still...
Calleth you, cometh I
-And that's how it is

And I've been waiting for this so long...
A-waiting to sing this song, for you...
Calleth you, cometh I

And I've been waiting for this so long...
A-waiting to sing this song, for you...
Calleth you, cometh I
