Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Yeah Sapphire' - Yeah, Sapphire / I'm sick and I'm tired and I'm fried / And you gotta believe me / Yeah, Sapphire / If I cross myself when I come / Would you maybe receive me? / Yeah, Sapphire / You were feisty at first / But I broke you and I showed you the tempo / Sacramento / It swung at us first / But it ended up going down gentle / Sapphire, if Cheyenne's too small / We'll haul it all back to St. Paul / I was just about to call you / When you called / Yeah, Sapphire / I know the last time we touched / I came on a bit rough, please forgive me / Yeah, Sapphire / After you left, it was a big sketchy mess / They almost killed me / Sapphire, if Cheyenne's too small / We'll haul it all back to St. Paul / I was just about to call you / When you called / Sapphire, if St. Paul don't call / We've always got Aberdeen / Cause dreams they seem to cost money / But money costs some dreams / It went just as you predicted / I swear there must be something in your dreams / It all went down exactly like your visions / And I know you said don't call until I'm clean / I'm not drunk, I'm cut / I'm gushing blood / And I need someone to come and pick me up / I was a skeptic at first, but these miracles work / I was a skeptic at first, but these miracles work / I was a skeptic at first, but these miracles work / I was a skeptic at first, but these miracles work
