I sit here waiting. I am nervous. I've had the training. Can I cut it? Don't make decisions for them, don't tell them what to do. Just listen to them, believe them too. The phone cries out, who will it be? (who will it be? who will it be?) The Crisis Line I say. Can I help you? She says I need to talk to someone 'cause I'm running out of time. I made it through the day, but I won't make it through the night. My hand is full of Aspirin and my heart is full of shame. In two or three more hours I'll be over all the pain SongtexteAnd I answer: Stay on the line Stay on the line Are you still there? Stay on the line Lets make a deal, now. I don't want you to die Just promise me, that you won't suicide. I say are you alone? She says he's gone And they took my kids, my kids away I'm so alone. She says Every time I take a drink, it comforts as it burns. And every drink I take I'm at the point of no return. Addiction is a quicksand and I'm sinkin' really fast. My time is up and now I'm slippin' through the hourglass And I answer You're not alone. Don't cross that line. Are you still there? Stay on the line. Please Stay on the line A few days later I read the paper About a woman's suicide. And I wonder. I'll always wonder. And I still hear I need to talk to someone 'cause I'm runnin' out of time. (runnin' out of time) I made it through the day, but I won't make it through the night. (make it through the night) My hand is full of Aspirin and my heart is full of shame. (heart is full of shame) In two or three more hours I'll be over all the pain And I wonder Are you still there? Are you still there? Are you still there? Are you still there?
