CB Lovers

CB lovers whisper each other's
Pet names across the airwaves.
CB lovers hear each other's
Hearts beating, through the night sky.

As all the other couples curl up,
They close the curtains to the frosty air.
As I look out over the city,
Are you out there in your lorry somewhere?

Are you out there baby?
Are you listenin' in?
Kiss me baby.
Are you receiving?

Do you remember that night under the neon lights?
It was raining but we never felt a drop.
I looked at you, and you looked at me,
It really meant a lot.

“As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And we whisper to ourselves to go,” *
So, we're apart, but we're always together
On the end of the radio.

Are you out there baby?
Are you listenin' in?
Kiss me baby.
Are you receiving?

Are you out there baby?
Are you listenin' in?
Kiss me baby.
Are you receiving?


* John Donne
