Lyrics

She turned kings into beggars
And the righteous into thieves
With lipstick and a little bling
She could do anything
Oh she could do anything

She could steal the stars from Heaven
She could still the stormy seas
Turn enemies to brethren
But she couldn’t be with me
No she couldn’t be with me

Her laughter was a vision
That could soothe the sharpest sting
She could free you from your prison
She could do anything
Oh she could do anything

She turned sorrow into wisdom
And bitter into sweet
Transformed discord into rhythm
But she couldn’t be with me
No she couldn’t be with me

I got a blanket for her shoulders
And a pillow for her feet
I tried to ease her suffering
But I couldn’t do a thing
No I couldn’t do a thing

She succumbed to the fever
Of some mysterious disease
And though the mountains moved to save her
She couldn’t stay with me
No she couldn’t stay with me
She couldn’t be with me
No she couldn’t be with me
She couldn’t be with me
And I’ll never be free
