Carol Lee - Tom House

Our intentions were the best ones but that hardly goes to explain

How the sun just went in on us left us standing in the rain

I go walking by the river and the wind calls out your name

Look around me no one behind me and time moves with me like in a dream

Carol Lee gone again coming back she don’t say when

I sit here waiting as the evening’s coming on

And all these images I find bits and pieces in my mind

All these reasons all these signs pointing nowhere

And why we do it why we cared Who we were and what we shared

Some improbable incredible moments could have meant the world

And it’s like we weren’t even there like we weren’t even there

And that darkness just keeps coming on and on and on

By my window light a candle and I sit there in the cold night air

Times her perfume fills the whole room and I can feel her presence everywhere

Carol Lee gone again coming back she don’t say when

I sit here waiting as the evening’s coming on

And all these images I find bits and pieces in my mind

All these reasons all these signs pointing nowhere

And why we do it why we cared who we were and what we shared

Some improbably incredible moments could have meant everything

And it’s like we weren’t even there like everything now it’s all gone

And I just sit here hanging onto all that darkness and it just goes on and on

and on… nowhere

Our intentions were the best one but that hardly goes to explain

How the sun just went in on us left us standing in the rain
