Luyện nghe bài hát Carissa

Oh Carissa, I first saw you, you were a lovely child
And the last time I saw you, you were fifteen and pregnant and running
I remember wondering, could be a light at the end of your tunnel?
But I Ohio then and had pretty much forgotten all about you
I guess you were there some ago at a family funeral
But you were one of so many I didn't know which one was you

Yesterday morning I woke up to so many 330 code calls
I my mom back and she was in tears and asked had I spoke to my father?
Carissa burned to death last night in a freak accident
In her yard in Brewster her daughter came home a party and found her
way as my uncle, who was her grandfather
An aerosol can up in the trash, goddamn, what were the odds?

She was just getting ready to go to her shift as an RN in Wadsworth
And she vanished up in flames like but there had to be more to her life's worth
Everyone's grieving out of minds, making arrangements and taking drugs
But I'm flying out there tomorrow because I need to give and get some
I got questions that I'd like to get answered
I may never get them, but Carissa, got to know how did it happen?

was thirty-five, you don't just raise two kids and take out your trash and die
She was my second cousin, I didn't know her at all but it don't mean that I wasn't
Now to find some poetry, to make sense of this, to find a deeper meaning
In this tragedy, O Carissa, I'll sing your name across every sea

Were you someone else's chores for them?
you just killing time, finding things to do all by your lonesome?
Was it you who mistakenly put flammables in the trash?
Was it your kids just being kids? If so, the they will carry around forever
Well I'm going out to get a look at the landscapes
To get a look at those I'm connected by blood and see how it all may shaped me
Well I'm going out though I'm not really needed
I'm just so broken up about it, how is it that this sad history
return to Ohio, to the place I was spawned
Going to see where I hung with my and played with them in the snow and fished in their pond
Going to see how grown, visit some graves and say, "Hey, I've missed you"
Going to find out as much as I can about my little second cousin

go to Ohio, where I was born
Got a 10:45 AM flight, I'm leaving morn
Going to see my and uncles, my parents and sisters
Mostly I'm going to pay my to my little second cousin Carissa

to Ohio, where I feel I belong
Ask who know the most about Carissa
For it is her life and death I am helplessly drawn

Carissa was thirty-five, raised since she was fifteen years old and suddenly died
Next to an old river, pit, oh there's gotta be more than that to it
She was only my second cousin but it don't mean that I'm not here for her or that I
Meant to give her life poetry, or to make sure her name is known across city
