“Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.” - William Cowper
An evocative song, sung by an extraordinary songstress. Here is the Holly Cole Trio performing “Calling You”, which I first heard to great effect in the film “Bagdad Café”…
Calling you
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Someplace better than where you’ve been.
A coffee machine that needs some fixin’
In a little café just around the bend.
Chorus:
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me?
I am calling you…
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby’s crying so I can’t sleep
But we both know the change is coming
Come in closer, sweet release.
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me?
I am calling you…
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Someplace better than where you’ve been
A coffee machine that needs some fixin’
In a little café just around the bend.
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby’s crying so I can’t sleep
And I can feel the change is coming
Come in closer, sweet release.
