She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all (Ooh)
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah, maybe I was naïve
But truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you held so close
There's something better now
And she called up (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to me
She called up (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
She called up (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
She called up (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
And gave me the news
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all (Ooh)
