When last i spoke lyrics

When last I spoke to Carol I said:

"I can't pretend it gets easier."

She said: "I've hung on, I have edged

Along 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
