Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So wild, standing there with her hands in her hair
I can't help remember just where she touched me
There's still no face here in her place
[Verse 2]
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music high and sweet, then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
[Verse 3]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
[Verse 4]
Love songs fill the night, but they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out just like they're dyin'
Her cries hang there in time somewhere
[Verse 5]
Some day, some good wind may blow her back to me
Some night, I may hear her like she used to be
No, it can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
[Verse 6]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
[Verse 7]
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music high and sweet, then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
[Verse 8]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
I'm the same boy I used to be
