Ah, mmm
Holding on with my soul in my hands
Head towards the cloud, I'm staying once again
Haunted by a voice so soft in my head
Never had a choice, you left me for dead
Victoria, ah, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Victoria, ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yes
Now I see the truth and I am to blame
So close to you, I was over, we know the game
Left in the field, I'll never be the same
Left here to ponder the meaning of your name
Victoria, ah, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa
Victoria, ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Mama won't you come and play
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Oh, make up the hill, make it up the hill
Thank you, thank you, Clifford
Thank you, thank you, ah
Yes, play me, feel good, oh
There we go
The wind it calls to me from up above
There's only one heart I'm here dreaming of
Darkness falls on the hills I've come to love
The lover keep losing, I'll never get enough
Victoria, ah, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
V-V-V-V-V-Victoria, ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Victoria, ah, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Victoria, ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Come back, Vicky, come back
Oh, mmm
(Are you crying)
No, I'm singing
(What you crying about, boy)
I ain't crying, I'm singing
(I'm here, I'm here, I'm right here)
I'm singing
(Come on, walk me to the water)
(You gotta calm your nerves a little bit)
(Sweetie) Yeah
(You better) Yes
(Is that a yeah) Yes
(I know, I know, you are such a baby)
You did this to me
(Let's breathe)
