Can somebody Identify The following lyrics and tell me the group and
the name of the song. The song is I think early 80's one. It is sung by
a girl, she is calling her husband who is a spaceship pilot in mars.
Onece a year she gets an opportunity to talk to him through a gap
in the asteroid belt which occurs once a year ! (Or something like that.)
It goes Like this ..

"Hello Operator,
I want to speak to Mr. C.V Jones ........
......
You are through ....


Hi Darling,
How are you doing,
Hay baby,
Were you sleeping,
Oh, I am sorry,
Is there someone alone with you,
...... "

As far as I remember It was in the top 10 list in 1984-1985.

Can somebody Identify the song.

Thanks in advance.

Apologies if somebody's beaten me to it but I think the song is:

"Clouds Across the Moon"

performed by the

RAH Band.

I think the band took their name from the initials of their founding
member, Richard Anthony Hewson. The RAH band also had a hit a few years
before, called "The Crunch", but I'm pretty sure that one was an
instrumental.

All the best,

Better late than never, here are the lyrics to this song, "Clouds
across the moon" by the Rah Band from 1985:

(ding dong)
- Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?
- Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson on Mars
flight 2-4-7.
- Very well. Hold on, please... You're through.
- Thank you operator.

Hi, darling
How you're doing?
Hey baby
Were you sleeping?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you.

Hi, darling
How's the weather?
Say baby
Is that cold better now?
Oh I'm sorry
Is there someone there with you?

Oh, since you went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend
Or it's the end

Now when I look at the clouds across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby, you'll hurry home to me

Hi, darling
The kids say they love you
Hey baby
Is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me
But I'm trying not to cry

Oh, I've had a million different offers on the phone
But I just stay right here at home
I don't think that I can take it anymore
This crazy war

Now when I look at the clouds across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh darling, you'll hurry home to me

(ding dong)
- I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are experiencing
violent storm conditions in the asteroid belt at this time. We may
lose this valuable deep-space communication link. Please be as brief
as possible. Thank you.

Oh, since you went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend
Or it's... it's... (bleep)

- Hello? Operator? Yes, I seem to have lost the connection. Could you
try again please?
- I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we have lost contact with Mars 247 at this
time.
- Okay. Well thank you very much. I'll - I'll try again next year...
next year... next year...

(this is the intergalactic operator... this is the intergalactic
operator... [fade out])
