This song got me my first single song contract offer, conditional on certain re-writes.  Then 9/11 happened and I never got around to getting the re-writes done until "the moment" had already passed.  Still looking for my first single song contract . . . offers accepted at damon@damonsongs.net . . .

I called today from the side of the road pay phone

It took me twenty-five rings to realize that you weren’t home

    I wanted to tell you / That I love you

    I was so lost / But now I know the way

        You got me turnin’ around

        I think I’ve come to my senses

        Got me turnin’ around

        I’m coming back to you

        I put the past behind

        And all those doubts in my rear view

        I’m turnin’ around

        And coming back to you

Caught me off guard saying love for the first time

So I took a long drive and now I’m holding on this phone line

    I could not tell you / That I loved you

    But now out here 100 miles away

        Chorus

        Solo

    How was I so blind

    I almost missed a lifetime

    Of loving you through every night and day

        Chorus
