Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
[Chorus:]
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all
[Chorus]
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah, maybe I was naive
The truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you have so close
Is something better now
And she called...
And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to me
She called up
She called up
She called up
And gave me the news
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all
[Chorus]
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah, maybe I was naive
The truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you have so close
Is something better now
And she called...
And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to me
She called up
She called up
She called up
And gave me the news

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
