She Called Songtext
von Peggy Sue

The roads here are all grey like our city
The lights, they are as dim
The roads here stretch for miles like our city
The nights, they are as thin

We′ll raise our glasses high here
We'll tell our tales as tall
But this city′s already so full of bodies
The beds, they are all full

She called, she said we're closer now
That you're so far away
There′s reasons beyond reason now
There′s oceans in our way


You had no claim, I'd long since left your bed
The water does no more than the words already said
Oh, they build their buildings high here
They tell their tales as tall
But this city′s already so full of bodies
It does not need one more
This sofa will not hold my shape
The springs, they have no give
Miss your arms about my own
A reminder I must be grown up and cold

I have a love that will linger until I learn to live without it
I have a love that will linger until I learn to doubt it
I have a love that will linger until I learn to live without it
I have a love that will linger until I learn to doubt it

He said that I was pretty young
He said I'd do just fine
But this body′s already taken up
So taken, I'm not sure it′s even mine

I'll keep on keeping on
'Til I′ve kept you for too long
Oh, I′ll keep on keeping on
'Til I′ve kept you


Draw a map across my eyelids
Plot the route home through my veins
Beg these feet to keep on moving
Oh, I'll find my way again
Your words mingle with salt
Only taste sweeter as I swallow
Your voice across the water′s
So much easier to follow
