Please Tell the DJ

from Little Town Blues (2015) by Mark Lucas

lyrics

The letterbox is still empty and the telephone don’t ring
But it’s the same sky above me and the same birds still sing
They don’t know how I’m lonely they don’t know that you’re gon
But someone please tell the DJ ‘cos he’s still playing our song


Please tell the DJ that it’s a small world
The songs that he’s playing are all about one girl
Be it Waylon or Willie, Hank, Lefty or Merle
Please tell the DJ that it’s a small world


I‘ve tried painting your picture but it’s like you’re just out of sight
And I wrote you a letter but the words won’t come right
Used to be I could reach out and the river would run
Now I’m dry as the dust in the red centre sun

Please tell the DJ that it’s a small world

Now Sunday morning still tastes of Saturday night
And I can’t hide from memories like I can hide from the light
And the bars down the street and the church bells all ring
With the same sad story and it’s our song that they sing

Please tell the DJ that it’s a small world
