I Call Your Name
Deville Willy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All through the night
The morning's the same as the evening
Day after day
When will these feelings leave me
I'm lonely through my life
I know it's not right
But we were made for each other
These feelings remain
Must I go on without you
Lonely through my life
Can this go on for ever
I call your name
I call your name
And still I get no answer
And still I get no answer
In the shadows of night
That somehow brought us together
We only kissed once
The kiss that made me forever
Lonely through my life

They say I've no shame
But I can't help but show it
As time passes by
Waiting for you to take notice
Lonely through my life
Will I wait. Haw much longer
Should I wait. How much longer.

I call your name
I call your name
While I wait. How much longer.
Should I wait. How much longer.
I call your name
I call your name
While I wait. How much longer.
Must I wait. How much longer.
I call your name
I call your name




Must I wait. How much longer.
And still I get no answer
