Lyrics
When Last I Spoke To Carol
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
