Red telephone sitting by my bed 
Practically bore your name 
Lying alone in the twilight zone 
Waiting for your call to come in 
Hadn't been for the kid 
Who was sleeping upstairs 
You'd have found me well on my way 
On that midnight plane to L.A. 

You suffered sweeter for me 
Than anyone I've ever known 

I dared to look into the years 
Would you still have your wife? 
I dared to peer through my tears 
Could we ever have a life? 
Even thought I was pregnant by you 
But I didn't care 
I just talked to my son 
Would he mind another one? 

You suffered sweeter for me 
Than anyone I've ever known 

Once more the mist rolls to the sea 
Like a hundred times we've known 
Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped 
Where the wind had blown 
How I dread when the evening comes 
And I cannot be 
What you want me to be 
When you are next to me 

How silent you are as the veils come down 
Before my eyes 
Soft and reserved as you move away 
Donning your disguise 
While every folk song that I ever knew 
Once more comes true 
And loves grows old 
And waxes cold 

You suffered sweeter for me 
Than anyone I've ever known 

Just one favor of you, my love 
If I should die today 
Take me down to where the hills 
Meet the sea on a stormy day 
Ride a ridge on a snow white horse 
And throw my ashes away 
To the wind and the sand 
Where my song began 

You suffered sweeter for me 
Than anyone I've ever known
