Lyrics

Karen¡¯s moving out

out into the sky

Karen trips on a cloud

Sets down w stars in her eyes

She¡¯s alone in a room

She¡¯s deep inside of her mind

Karen¡¯s leaving for the snow

Somewhere to somewhere... blind

She cut the silver lining in my soul

I was tethered to her for a time

are we still together?

will she stay forever?

(will she stay?... beside...

flashlight... Karen stay... etc.)

A LOVE SUPREME

Karen, yr hanging on the line

wraps yr coat tight around

Karen, yr eyes are on the prize

i¡¯ll catch you on my way down
