Was There Anything I Could Do? — текст песни (Go-betweens, The)

She comes home and she`s happy
She comes home and shes blue
She comes home and she tells him
Listen baby were 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 carwash 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
