I'm Not The Only One Asking

Bird on the telephone wire Come down and sing to me Have you heard from my father Have you any news to bring I know I'm not the only one asking Among wandering souls down here Can you shout it from the highest peak Or at least whisper it in my ear I knocked on the door of my neighbor To ask him if he had received The holy key to Heaven My father promised me I'm not the only one asking Among wandering souls down here So brother if you know the answer Please whisper it in my ear I'm reaching for Heaven Down on my knees, down on my knees Now I'm finally getting nearer to Heaven And nearer to thee I know I'm not the only one asking Among wandering souls down here Can you shout it from the highest peak Or at least whisper it in my ear Bird on the telephone wire Come down and sing to me
