If I Could Reach You Lyrics

I tried to reach you on the telephone
But you're always gone
You’re not really there
Every time I get the busy tone
Or the numbers cut like you were never here

If I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you
Oh I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you but you're never there

I went to see you
But you were not home
I lookеd in the window
The place was such a mеss
Searched in the alleys and the grocery store
And every dive I saw hoping for the best

If I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you
Oh I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you but you're never there
You’re never there
You're never there
You're never there
You're never there

On the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Now I'm dressed up like a debutant
With my hair in curls
Trying to sell myself
But I keep thinking about your junk-filled room
I stand and play the songs but I am somewhere else

If I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you
Oh I could reach you
If I could reach you
If I could reach you but you're never there
You're never there
You're never there
You’re never there
You’re never there
