From the recording Unfinished Songs
Lyrics
His eyes are full of hunger, he is blistered by the heat
Walking slow on a Tanzanian plain
And there are babies back home with nothing left to eat
Somebody’s calling your name
Somebody’s calling out your name tonight
Somebody’s calling out your name
Somebody’s cry
Is reaching cross the sky
Somebody’s calling your name
And there are refugees and misfits and dreamers in the world
Just trying to find a way to ease their pain
Looking all around for a little piece of ground
Somebody’s calling your name
Somebody’s calling out your name tonight
Somebody’s calling out your name
Somebody’s cry
Is reaching cross the sky
Somebody’s calling your name
Christmas day is over and she sits down on the bed
And she wonders why nobody came
She holds the tiny present she had wrapped in green and red
Somebody’s calling your name.
Somebody’s calling out your name tonight
Somebody’s calling out your name
Somebody’s cry
Is reaching cross the sky
Somebody’s calling your name
Oh I am fearful of the day when it all might go away
And no longer can I hold you at my side
Will I ever have a rest in the rest of forever
Looking for you in a universe so wide?
So if you notice something while you’re traveling thru the stars
Like a song in your head you can’t explain
With words about old memories and a cedar top guitar
It will be me calling out your name
Somebody’s calling out your name tonight
Somebody’s calling out your name
Somebody’s cry
Is reaching cross the sky
Somebody’s calling your name
Somebody’s calling your name
