Laura Laurent

Bright Eyes

Laura, are you still living there 
On your estate of sorrows 
You used to leave it occasionally 
But now you don't even bother 
To ride that commuter train, west to Chicago 
To stroll through the greenery in the park past the statues 
How their eyes seemed to follow you like a hated addiction 
Their beauty carved out of absolutes that you could never claim 
Or even envision 
Laura, you were the saddest song 
In the shape of a woman 
Yeah, I thought you were beautiful 
But I wept with your movements 
But I hope that you're laughing now from that place on the carpet 
Where we shared a sleeping bag in your sister's apartment 
Oh, how she would worry so 
You know, I was just a stranger 
But she asked me to care for you, yes she did 
And I went and betrayed her 
But do you know we're in high demand, Laura, us people who suffer 
Because we don't take to arguing 
And we're quick to surrender 
Well, I think I would call tonight if I still had your number 
Your thoughts have always lain close to mine 
Yeah, we were both skipping supper 
But you should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living 
'Cause it's the ones with the sorest throats, Laura 
Who have done the most singing 
Everybody 
Lalalala...
