Was There Anything I Could Do? Lyrics

She comes home and she's happy She comes home and she's blue She comes home and she tells him Listen baby we're through
I don't know what happened next All I know is she moved Packed up her bags and her curtains Left him in his room
Was there anything I could do? She went out with her paint box Paints the chapel blue She went out with her matchsticks Torched a car wash too
I don't know where she's living All I've got is a card A picture of her at the pyramids A knife held to her heart
Was there anything I could do? She came down from the mountains Said goodbye to her guru
She went back to her room Lost herself in voodoo I don't say that I blame her People don't know what they want
If you spend your life looking behind you You don't see what's up front Was there anything I could do? Putting out her fire Putting out her fire
