And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could doShes too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now

In delirious sleep

And maybe I was naiveBut 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 calledWhen she called up

And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to meShe called up
