She Said

Here’s yet another one of those “apropos of nothing” moments… Collective Soul singing “She Said.”

This is the “official video,” which pales in comparison to the album track (which I cannot find. For the life of me.). Still and even, it’s good enough. I love the lyrics to this tune. And just in case you missed ‘em, here they are:

She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades

She said she realizes
Shes seen her better days

She said she cant look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth

She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mothers to blame
For the way she is today

lifes river shall rise, she said
that only the strong shall survive, she said
but Im feeling quite weak, she said
will you comfort and forgive me, she said

She says shes still searching
For salvations light
Yeah, she wishes all day
And then, she prays all night

She said she wont speak of love
cause love, shes never known
And its moments like these
She hates to be alone

lifes river shall rise, she said
that only the strong shall survive, she said
but Im feeling quite weak, she said
will you comfort and forgive me, she said

lifes river shall rise, she said
that only the strong shall survive, she said
but Im feeling quite weak, she said
will you comfort and forgive me, she said

lifes river shall rise, she said
that only the strong shall survive, she said
but Im feeling quite weak, she said
will you comfort and forgive me, she said

Forgive me
She said
Forgive me
She said

Good, innit?
