Sheila, this life's too long to leave behind
Sheila, your world's too small to get inside
It's a needle's eye I tried to squeeze through
I tried to get to you
Sheila, waiting for a place in time
Sheila, counting every tear she's cried
It's a coward's lie I needed to believe
To get to you
...and I almost threw it all away
Let the memory dim and fade
The only thing about you that I ever knew
Was your name

It's a coward's lie I needed to believe
To get to you
...and I almost threw it all away
Let the memory dim and fade
The only thing about you that I ever knew
