At The Sound Of The Tone (Schneider John)

I called her up to say I'm sorry I just can't have lunch today 'Cause the boss just called And he's flying in from L.A. And as the phone rang I remembered the time How simple things used to be Then her voice came on the line Not her, but the answer machine She said I'm sorry, I can't take your call 'Cause I'm packing up to away And John, if that's you You're just cancel the lunch anyway Oh you used to find the time But now you don't even try So at the sound of the tone You're on your own...goodbye I ran down to the street and I caught a cab God I had to get back home But the house was empty Except for the code-a-phone And as the tears came I remembered the time How happy we used to be And I'll never forget the Last words she ever said to me She said I'm sorry, I can't take your call 'Cause I'm packing up to away And John, if that's you You're just cancel the lunch anyway Oh you used to find the time But now you don't even try So at the sound of the tone You're on your own...goodbye She said you used to find the time But now you don't even try So at the sound of the tone You're on your own....goodbye
