 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 could 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

 In delirious sleep

 I wasn’t prepared for that position

 And maybe I was naïve

 But truth is a mortal blow

 You know all there is to know

 The hurt that you have so close

 Is something better now

 For what you gave to me

 She called up

 She called up
