Take Good Care of It - The Verlaines

Take good care of it

Camel cigarettes

The heady remembrance

Take good care of it

You’re making accusations

In the end it’s come to nothing at all

And there’s no clear place where it faltered

And I dream of being like I was before

Take good care of it

Camel cigarettes

My heart bordered on lunatic

I didn’t want to get rid of it

We used to have

Something cutting here

But one day it just got up and died

Here I am and I’m trying to deny it

Is it sane or in vain or is it goodbye?

Take good care of it

Camel cigarettes

The heady remembrance

Take good care of it

'Cos in the heart below where the laurel sits

It’s not really alive but it resembles it a little bit
