Story Behind The Song
Do I open up to a love who lives 8000 miles from me? What if I do? What if I ignore the call and let it go? I'll wonder for the rest of my life. Either way, the choices didn't seem great.
Song Description
No matter what happens, love can be joyful, but it also opens to pain. Whether we answer the call or ignore, we'll probably end up with heartache.

Lyrics
When Love Calls
Words Bernie Gilbert & Brook Schoenfield
Music Brook Schoenfield © 2004
Maybe it's an invitation
At a moment of elation
When love calls
The scent of something feral
A call that's unexpected
Maybe it's misdirected
When love calls
You ignore it
At your peril
It will be an education
Limitless exhilaration
When love calls
But it's dark inside the tunnel
Shadow sides will rise to greet you
Selves you've shelved will come
and meet you
When love calls
You answer
At your peril
The water is still, until
I dive into the lake ?nnnn
By the breakin? storm I'm shaken
Knowing from the dream I'll waken
Feeling battered and forsaken
But what a journey I'll have taken
In a blizzard of sensation
Fingertips code information
When love calls
Ride Niagara in a barrel
Nothing could be less efficient
Who can know what is sufficient?
When love calls
YoYou ignore it
At At your peril
An invitation
A moment of elation
An education
Limitless exhilaration
A blizzard of sensation
Codes information
A call that?s unexpected
Fantasy projected
When love calls
Ignore it
Answer it
Ignore it
All at your Peril
