al stewart - carol lyrics
sometimes it seems unimaginable
that you were ever any other way
with your white rose face and your orphan clothes
embroidered jeans and silver chains
you’re a well known face in all the hang-out places
where the lost souls congregate
you sit all night but you talk too fast
i don’t know what you’re trying to say
oh carol, i think it’s time for running for cover
believe me, you’re everyone’s and n-body’s lover
you’ve got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
i know your daddy said he’d talk to you
but he never really found the time
and your tv mother with her c-cktail eyes
could never really reach your mind
so you fixed your star to a p-ssing dream
and took a cocaine holiday
now the years flow ’round you in a muddy stream
you need another place to stay
oh carol, i think it’s time for running for cover
believe me, you’re everyone’s and n-body’s lover
you’ve got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
reach down, silvery ship from the stars
i know you’re there
i know you’ll understand me
you can take me anywhere
i know you must be there
while sometimes it seems impossible
that the game could get that rough
but the stage is set, the exit’s barred
and the make-up won’t come off
so you make your bow to the balcony
you light another cigarette
and the lights grow dim as the music starts
and it’s easy to forget
oh carol, i think it’s time for running for cover
believe me, you’re everyone’s and n-body’s lover
you’ve got a one-way ticket to all your yesterdays
reach down, silvery ship from the stars
i know you’re there
i know you’ll understand me
you can take me anywhere
i know you must be there
