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

She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad

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
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
