Laurie

Once I saw the most beautiful girl

Sitting next to me

I asked her what was her name

She said it was 'Laurie'



She worked at the store and I opened that door

Just to see her face

She always made me feel at home

I never felt out of place







But she already had a boyfriend



An undertaker was he



And they got married



And had a little baby







I became obsessed with death, my friend



Certain that it would happen to me



And I would be in the hands



Of my dear Laurie







I can't explain such love aflame



I overcame victorious



Filled my heart with such desire



So grand and so glorious







Laurie, sweet, an angel dear



Is here with me today



Not a person, but a memory



With me will always stay.
