She Was Real - Jon English

[00:17.0]It was cold and it was dark
[00:20.83]When I stopped my Harley
[00:26.25]And I looked down at my road map
[00:29.71]I thought I had gone too far
[00:33.62]It was one of those Autumn nights
[00:37.51]Pitch black with a mist in the air
[00:41.92]When you can't see anything close up
[00:46.0]But you know there's someone there
[00:52.97]So I pulled out my flashlight
[00:57.52]And I shone it in the night
[01:01.08]I heard a voice calling softly
[01:05.29]And I caught her in the light
[01:09.16]She was all dressed in jeans and leathers
[01:12.86]She looked lost and afraid
[01:17.43]And she whispered can you help me
[01:21.6]I must have lost my way
[01:27.76]She was real my heart did a somersault
[01:32.09]She was real she came near
[01:35.91]I said hey you gave me quite a turn
[01:40.05]Just what the hell are you doing out here
[01:44.43]She was real she said I don't remember
[01:48.869995]She was real she looked at me
[01:52.95]So I said where do you want to go
[01:56.89]She said I live by the sea
[02:01.26]She was real I swear she was real
[02:07.46]
[02:13.7]Woo ya I ain't no Greek statue
[02:17.49]But she was something to be seen
[02:21.87]She had this long dark hair eyes like a cat
[02:26.4]She was no more than nineteen
[02:30.08]You see I didn't think it right to ask
[02:34.56]Just why she was all alone I just took it to be
[02:40.33]Boyfriend trouble so I said I'll take you home
[02:49.19]She was real she gave me her address
[02:53.87]Or else I wouldn't be here
[02:57.68]She was real she climbed up on the back of my bike
[03:03.12]And she showed no fear
[03:05.88]She was real soft she put her arms around me
[03:10.49]She was real she held on tight
[03:14.16]And she was real as we shouted our conversation
[03:18.53]As we thundered through the night faster
[03:23.62]She was real I swear she was real
[03:33.45]It was raining and the mist was coming in
[03:36.07]She looked at me she said hey I want to get home fast
[03:42.05]I told her I'd do my best
[03:44.66]And when I asked her out next Saturday
[03:47.63]God help me she said yes
[03:50.84]And the wind was snatching our voices away
[03:53.95]But I felt good inside
[03:56.51]There was me and Suzy riding out there
[03:59.64]Just busting with pride feeling good
[04:03.76]She was real when I took the roundabout
[04:06.84]Just as real as the wind in my hair
[04:09.76]She was real when I turned to look at her
[04:12.82]My God she wasn't there
[04:15.79]She was real she told me her name
[04:18.73]I went shouting out the same
[04:21.76]I went stumbling through the undergrowth
[04:24.81]Screaming like a man in pain
[04:27.76]My God she must have fallen off
[04:30.51]But I swear I didn't feel her fall
[04:33.32]I went looking searching looking
[04:36.41]And then I gave the cops a call
[04:45.97]The cops came found nothing
[04:50.09]
[04:55.21]It was sunrise when they got there
[04:59.27]Nine am when the searching broke
[05:04.58]I guess it must have been the look on my face
[05:08.18]That told them it weren't no joke
[05:12.06]So I gave them Suzy's address
[05:16.04]And they took me round there in the car
[05:19.98]I just wanted to go with them
[05:24.29]I couldn't face my Harley
[05:32.09]And Suzy's mother answered
[05:34.57]She had Suzy's hair and Suzy's eyes
[05:40.3]And when I told her what had happened
[05:43.8]She just broke down and she cried
[05:47.63]And she told me I was cruel and heartless
[05:51.83002]To tease an old lady so and she told me
[05:56.71]Suzy died on that roundabout twelve years ago
[06:06.19]She was real there's a photo on the fireplace
[06:10.04]Dated nineteen sixty five but she was real
[06:15.72]She was on the back of my bike
[06:18.05]She was soft she was alive
[06:21.52]I swear she was real I ain't going crazy
[06:26.55]I touched her and she touched me
[06:29.7]So I guess I'll get on back to that roundabout
[06:34.48]She's waiting there for me she's waiting
[06:39.48]She's real I swear she's real
[06:47.64]She was real she was real
[06:53.9]I ain't crazy
[06:57.55]She was real she was real
[07:05.94]I ain't crazy
