Radio operator, in a tiny foreign room
We can hear you now and later
Calling out and coming through


Radio operator, you're a voice so far from home
With a signal like a heartbeat

Not afraid but so alone

Where are the messages for me

The secret codes for parts unknown
I'll ride the signal to the world
And to the girl in San Antone


Radio operator, do you ever think of me
'Cause I'm a gleam on some horizon

Just too far away to see

Radio operator, there are still messages to send

From the future, from the present
And it never has to end


Where are the messages for me
The secret codes for parts unknown
I'll ride the signal to the world

And to the girl in San Antone

Radio operator, I am calling like a friend

From my future, from your memory
And it never has to end


This message will not end
