When Last I Spoke To Carol I Said:
"I Can't Pretend It Gets Easier."
She Said:
"I've Hung On, I Have Edged Around This Narrow Ledge Since The Day I Was Born In 1975."
When Last I Spoke To Carol I Said:
"I Can't Pretend I Feel Love For You."
She Said:
"I've Hammered A Smile Across This Pasty Face Of Mine Since The Day I Was Born In 1975."
When I Said Goodbye To Carol
Black Earth Upon The Casket Fell
She Had Faded To
Something I Always Knew
To The Rescue
Nobody Ever Comes.
