Song Description

is she dead... or just hiding?

Lyrics

I caught a glimpse of Beverly
I saw the ghost of her smile
I smell a hint of the perfume
that Beverly left behind

AND I NEVER KNEW A GIRL COULD BE SO ELUSIVE

I caught a glimpse of Beverly
I heard the whisper of her sighs
I kiss the hallowed ground
Where Beverly's shadow lies

AND I NEVER KNEW A GIRL COULD BE SO ELUSIVE
NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANYONE COULD PLAY SO HARD TO GET

I caught a glimpse of Beverly
I hear her footsteps up ahead
I see the shape on the pillow
Where Beverly laid her head

AND I NEVER KNEW A GIRL COULD BE SO ELUSIVE
NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANYONE COULD PLAY SO HARD TO GET
SHE'S NEVER COMING BACK MY FRIENDS ALL SAY

I caught a glimpse of Beverly
I searched the places we would go
I see her running up to greet me
"sorry I thought you were someone I know"

AND I NEVER KNEW A GIRL COULD BE SO ELUSIVE
NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANYONE COULD PLAY SO HARD TO GET
SHE'S NEVER COMING BACK MY FRIENDS ALL SAY
BUT BEVERLY IS ALWAYS JUST A GLIMPSE AWAY

It's a common reaction, I'm told
In a case of sudden death
But I still feel the warmth on my cheek
of Beverly's last breath

AND I NEVER KNEW A GIRL COULD BE SO ELUSIVE
