Luyện nghe bài hát Carissa

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

Yesterday morning I woke up to so 330 area code calls
I called my mom and she was in tears and asked had I spoke to my father?
Carissa burned to death night in a freak accident fire
In her yard in Brewster her daughter home from a party and found her
way as my uncle, who was her grandfather
An aerosol can blew up in the trash, goddamn, what 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 their minds, making and taking drugs
But I'm flying out there tomorrow because I need to give and get some
Cause I got questions I'd like to get answered
I may never get them, but Carissa, got to know how did it happen?

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

Were you doing someone else's for them?
Were you just time, finding things to do all by your lonesome?
Was it even you who put flammables in the trash?
Was it your kids just kids? If so, the guilt they will carry around forever
I'm going out there to get a look at the landscapes
To get a look at I'm connected by blood and see how it all may have shaped me
Well I'm going out there though I'm not 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 cousins and played with in the snow and fished in their pond
Going to see how they've grown, visit some graves and say, "Hey, missed you"
Going to find out as much as I can about my little second Carissa

Gonna go to Ohio, where I was
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 respects to my second cousin Carissa

Going to Ohio, where I I belong
Ask those who know the most about
For it is her life and death that I am drawn

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