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"
