The days are dark, and the night is blue
Waiting on a word, a world from you
3am and what remains
No cars around, the stoplights change

She's a gentle soul
But she can tear me apart or she can make me whole

My heart breaks like a fever
Was happy, now I fear that I need her
Once happy, always stepping on primrose
I have a hunch, but heaven only knows

She's a gentle soul
But she can tear me apart or she can make me whole

Ooh...another world away whenever we're away
She says it's not that way
But mine is a lonely soul
She says the darnest things
She says, she says, "You're too sweet for rock 'n' roll"
