Sheena Easton (born Sheena Shirley Orr, 27 April 1959) is a pop singer originally from Bellshill, Scotland. Sheena became famous for being the subject of the UK TV programme "The Big Time", a late 70s reality TV series which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract. She suceeded spectacularly by having TWO singles in the UK chart at the same time in early 1980. The rest is history... Trivia: In the entire James Bond series, Sheena is the only artist seen performing a song in the title sequence, with "For Your Eyes Only".

Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair) Lyrics

Sheena Easton

I've been away from you for far too long
Too much chances make my heart go frantic
I wanna tell you what's been goin' on, operator give me Trans Atlantic
I sit alone as the night goes by
Stare at the phone and wait for your reply

Chorus:
Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere
I call you on the telefone, but you're never home
I gotta get a message to you, I wanna tell you what I'm going through

What in the world's comin' over you
How come you're acting like a total stranger
I try to reach you but I can't get through
I got this feeling that my heart's in danger
I got your letter it was perfectly clear
Havin' a ball, and wishin' you are here

chorus

(Solo)

Premonition is a funny thing, a familiar kind of pain and easy
Like knowin' when the phone is gonna ring
Too many times and it'll drive you crazy
I hear your echo in the longer hall
Call out your name, but no-one's there at all

Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere
I call you on the telefone, but you're never home
(repeats out)
