Karen Koltrane
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.
Karen's moving out
Out into the sky
Karen trips on a cloud
Sets down with stars in her eyes
She's alone in a room
She's deep inside of her mind
Karen's leaving for the snow
Somewhere to somewhere... blind
Cuts at the lining of my soul
I was tethered to her for a time
Will she stay forever? Are we still together?
(will she stay?)
Will she stay forever? Are we still together?
(bedside.. flashlight.. bedside.. Karen stay)
Will she stay forever? Are we still together?
(bedside.. flashlight.. bedside.. will she stay?)
Will she stay forever? Are we still together?
(bedside.. flashlight.. bedside.. Karen stay..) (bedside..)
Karen, you're hanging on the line
Wrap your coat tight around
Karen, your eyes are on the prize
I'll catch you on the way down
