Lush - Carmen lyrics

(Anderson/Berenyi)

Carmen tells me what she's done

Says she's having fun

Wants to be a mom

Copper hair and golden smile

Sparkles all the while

But life can be a trial

Carmen's in a world of pain

Don't cry now for yesterday

Babys' gone but she's okay

Carmen tells me where she's been

Nightmares that she's seen

Makes me want to scream

Hear the things that she's been through

Grey and black and blue

Life can be so cruel

Sit down here and take a drink

Tell me about everything

And he shrugs and then he winks again

Chocolate box and photograph

Life is hard and life is tough

Carmen smiles and then she laughs again

It's time we started heading home now

I've made mistakes along the way

It makes no sense but I'm okay now

Its happened again

I guess I'll live another day

Sit down here and take a drink

Tell me about everything

And he shrugs and then he winks again

Chocolate box and photograph

Life is hard and life is tough

Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
