Lyrics
She's like an angel perpetrator; both a victim and a crime
She says "I'll catch up with you later; unless I change my mind"
And then she gets me on the line
And then she gets me on the line
Along the banks of the river Jordan, nobody's running out of time
She calls to me in whispers but mostly doggerel rhyme
And then she gets me on the line
Chorus:
And I think I understand why anybody sings the Blues
I try to hold it in my hand it just slips right through
Between the ever-shifting sands and what passes for the truth
I oughta find something I can lean into
Now, Phoenix Arizona is hot as blazes all the time
I've got Noah and Jonah and some Holy Rock and Roller and I still feel like I'm flying blind
And then she gets me on the line
