Día del Refresco

"She Was Real" (Jon English)

It was cold and it was dark

When I stopped my Harley

And I looked down at my road map

I thought I had gone too far

It was one of those Autumn nights

Pitch black, with a mist in the air

When you can't see anything close up

But you know there's someone there …

So I pulled out my flashlight

And shone it in the night

I heard a voice calling softly

And I caught her in the light

She was all dressed in jeans and leathers

She looked lost and afraid

And she whispered, "can you help me

I must have lost my way?"

She was real, my heart did a somersault

She was real, she came near

I said, "Hey, you gave me quite a turn

Just what the hell are you doing out here?"

She was real, she said, "I don't remember"

She was real, she looked at me

So I said, "Where do you want to go?"

She said, "I live by the sea"

She was real, I swear she was real...

Well I ain't no Greek statue

But she was something to be seen

She had this long dark hair, eyes like a cat

She was no more than nineteen

And you see I didn't think it right to ask

Just why she was all alone, I just took it to be

Boyfriend trouble, so I said, "I'll take you home"

She was real, she gave me her address

Or else I wouldn't be here

She was re she climbed up on the back of my bike

And she showed no fear

She was real, soft she put her arms around me

She was real, she held on tight

And she was real as we shouted our conversation

As we thundered through the night, faster

She was real, I swear she was real...

It was raining, and the mist was coming in

She looked at me, she said, "Hey, I want to get home fast"

I told her I'd do my best

And when I asked her out next SATURDAY

God help me, she said yes

And the wind was snatching our voices away

But I felt good inside

There was me and Suzy riding out there

Just busting with pride, feeling good

And she was real when I took the roundabout

Just as real as the wind in my hair

She was real when I turned to look at her

My God, she wasn't there

She was real, she told me her name

I went shouting out the same

I went stumbling through the undergrowth

Screaming like a man in pain

My God she must have fallen off

But I swear I didn't feel her fall

I went looking, searching, looking

And then I gave the cops a call

The cops came, found nothing

It was sunrise when they got there

Nine am when the searching broke

I guess it must have been the look on my face

That told them it weren't no joke

So I gave them Suzy's address

And they took me round there in the car

I just wanted to go with them

I couldn't face my Harley

And Suzy's mother answered

She had Suzy's hair and Suzy's eyes

And when I told her what had happened

She just broke down and she cried

And she told me I was cruel and heartless

To tease an old lady so, and she told me

Suzy died on that roundabout twelve years ago...

She was real, there's a photo on the fireplace

Dated 1965, but she was real

She was on the back of my bike

She was soft, she was alive

I swear she was real, I ain't going crazy

I touched her and she touched me

So I guess I'll get on back to that roundabout

She's waiting there for me, she's waiting

She's real, I swear she's real, she was real, she was real

I ain't crazy, she was real, she was real, I ain't crazy!
