When Last I Spoke to Carol 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
