The Call (No More Room)
03:17

The call came from overseas
The wind carried it today
Might you have some sympathy
Some shelter from the rain
Stone bellies, blind hearts
Faceless faces in the rain
Dead leave the rest to bury
The vultures on the wing
(Instrumental bridge)
No more room
(The call)
No more room
(The call)
No more room
(The call)
No more room
The call came from overseas
The wind carried it today
Might you have some sympathy
Some shelter from the rain
The call in came from overseas
But wind carried it today
Might you have some sympathy
Some shelter from the rain

You never strayed too far from home
Ironed your suitcase and hid from the critics
And ate ‘til you couldn’t digest
You looked closer, through broken fences
Found Bush’s stolen skull, Angie’s harpoon
And Mile’s brushes and spoons
You saw my manuscript, the one I said I gave up
For you and only you
If it makes your day, keep it going this way
and know that you’re never alone
If it makes your day, keep it coming this way
Even when the Sun is crying
Even when the Sun is crying, you’re never alone
I become less and less
I hear the train somewhere left of my brain
Where no one showed up
single file
I paid dues that weren’t due yet
went to get your free stuff, cut corners and crusts
And give you whines and sustenance
It’s alright to still
Crack a smile, when you’re just the best there ever was
There ever was
If it makes your day
keep it going this way
and know that you’re never alone
If it makes your day
keep it going this way
Even when the Sun is dying
Even when the Sun is crying – you’re never alone
(verse 3)
We never strayed too far from home
Ironed our suitcase and hid from the critics
Til they admired us after we died
Let’s fade away,... together
Let’s fade away,
For we are only ‘We’ this once
If it makes your day, keep it going this way
and know that you’re never alone
If it makes your day, keep it going this way
Even when the planet’s crying
Even when the Sun is dying
Even when the Moon stops shining, and you are flying
Never alone

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me, yeah!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me, yeah!

Room to Land’s songs were developed over the last decade - some inspired by the loss of friends & family members, others by
the joys and pressures of marriage and parenthood.
The songs also meditate some on divisions within larger communities and between neighbors - all an attempt to summon the gumption & fortitude we must muster to bridge those gaps.
