John Northern - The Greater Conversation Lyrics

Millie called up Billy
On the direct line telephone
Said Millie to Billy
I'm wasting time here all alone
Imagine my rage
My frustration
A woman my age
Without consultation
Don't you feel
That you and I
Our passions engage
In the greater conversation

A good friend from Great Bend
Packed up and moved to the west coast
Said friend from Great Bend
I'll keep in touch through the U S Post
Imagine the smile
Sweet satisfaction
Been friends for a while
You got that deep communication
Don't you feel
That you and I
Can write letters in style
In the greater conversation

Many's the time I walked away lonely
Many's the time we bit off each others tongues
Many's the time I slept with me only
Many's the time we did what had to be done

There are bombs all over Baghdad
Like them lies on television
Broken widows
And lovers lost in misinformation
I can see in a wounded child's eyes
The time has come for us to realize
Don't you feel
That you and I
Should take our places
In the greater conversation
Don't you feel
That you and I
Should take our places
In the greater conversation
