| I was never nothin' popular,
|
| and neither was she.
|
| She was kind though,
|
| always had a smile for me.
|
| I never thought much about her,
|
| didn’t see her that way,
|
| and she was always out sick,
|
| missin' every other day.
|
| Now that I think about it we was always sayin' hello,
|
| I always thought it was cuz we were both people alone.
|
| I hardly knew her at all,
|
| she sat behind me in some classes,
|
| what was really goin' on behind her glasses?
|
| And why is (Vera Lee haunting me, here with me, Vera Lee haunting me,
|
| watching me, carefully *repeats*)
|
| When I heard she passed away I must admit that I was sad, of all the angry
|
| faces hers was sweet and always glad.
|
| I hardly knew her for nothin', I only knew she was cool, a quiet soul so fragil
|
| slippin through the hallways at school.
|
| Now that she’s gone…
|
| I can hear her crying my name,
|
| although it doesn’t make sense to think about it’s insane,
|
| but what if I was something special to her just because I said hi?
|
| What if she would always dream about if I was her guy?
|
| And what if all those hellos we shared went a long way?
|
| What if she felt for me… like in a strong way?
|
| What if she was low but always tried to make it in?
|
| And why is (Vera Lee haunting me, here with me, Vera Lee haunting me,
|
| watching me, carefully *repeats*)
|
| Whyyy? |
| Is she calling out to meee??? |
| To meeee? |
| Whyyyy? |
| Is she callin' out to
|
| meee??? |
| To meeeee???
|
| She was pale, she looked ill and so frail, maybe she looked at my life and how
|
| it’s so stale
|
| and thought that we’re both outcasts, maybe we can have each other.
|
| It flew right over my head, I never even bothered, now its too late,
|
| now every night, I hear her in my head… beggin me to join her with the dead.
|
| To think about it’s so strange,
|
| I hear her singing my name,
|
| Vera Lee I hear her in the rain.
|
| (Vera Lee haunting me, here with me,
|
| Vera Lee haunting me, watching me, carefully *repeats*)
|
| Whyyy? |
| Is she calling out to meee??? |
| To meeee? |
| Whyyyy? |
| Is she callin' out to
|
| meee??? |
| To meeeee??? |
