Carolyn, I am feeling all broken
Like the caked-dry sole of a shoe
Tossed harshly aside in the fray and the fire
Carolyn, I am away from you.
And Carolyn even the doctors are dying,
Their faces are swollen and blue
In the brown, leather garden that reaches the river
Where, freezing and frozen, stands you.
And they asked me if you jumped in,
And it's something I know you'd not do
But they ask if you tried to end your life
And I cannot speak for you
So I'm sleeping tonight in uneasy confusion
You're no longer the girl that I knew
No this time apart has been deadly
Carolyn, I am away from you. |
