Radio Operator (Live on KCRW) Lyrics

Radio operator, in a tiny foreign room
We can hear you now and later
Calling out and coming throughRadio operator, you're a voice so far from home
With a signal like a heartbeat
Not afraid but so aloneWhere are the messages for me
The secret codes for parts unknown
I'll ride the signal to the world
And to the girl in San AntoneRadio operator, do you ever think of me
Cause I'm a gleam on some horizon
Just too far away to seeRadio operator, there are still messages to send
From the future, from the present
And it never has to endWhere are the messages for me
The secret codes for parts unknown
I'll ride the signal to the world
And to the girl in San AntoneRadio operator, I am calling like a friend
From my future, from your memory
And it never has to endThis message will not end
