Lyrics
Calling Dori-Anne
When I was twelve, she lived next door,
She was the star of seventh grade.
It hit me hard, yeah, I was floored
When her family moved away.
And every night I prayed
We'd meet again somehow.
I need to see her face,
Where is she now?
I need the world to keep calling Dori-Anne for me.
Diamonds in the mountains
And pearls below the sea,
Keep shouting out her name,
To help me find that girl again,
Calling Dori-Anne, Dori-Anne.
I scan the crowds, I search the web,
I keep looking everywhere.
She might be married, she might be dead,
She might not want me there.
She might think it's too weird,
Me popping up in her life
After all these years,
But I've got to try--
I need the world to keep calling Dori-Anne for me.
Diamonds in the mountains
And pearls below the sea,
Keep shouting out her name,
To help me find that girl again,
Calling Dori-Anne, Dori-Anne.
I wanna hear every single songbird,
Every roaring hurricane,
Every echo down the canyon,
Call her name--
I need the world to keep calling Dori-Anne for me.
Diamonds in the mountains
And pearls below the sea,
Keep shouting out her name,
To help me find that girl again,
Calling Dori-Anne, Dori-Anne.
Dori-Anne
