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

All those who can blow a chasm wide

It took us all, it took us all

Pushed apart the mountains and the tide

It took us all

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

And maybe I was naive

But truth is a mortal blow

You know all there is to know

The hurt that you have so close

Is something better now

When she called

When 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

She called up

She called up

And gave me the news
