Luyện nghe bài hát Carissa

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

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

She was just getting ready to go to her midnight as an RN in Wadsworth
And she vanished up in flames like that but there had to be more to her worth
grieving out of their minds, making arrangements and taking drugs
But I'm flying out there because I need to give and get some hugs
Cause I got questions that I'd like to get
I may get them, but Carissa, I've got to know how did it happen?

Carissa was thirty-five, you don't just raise two kids and take out 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 some sense of this, to find a deeper meaning
In this senseless tragedy, O Carissa, I'll your name across every sea

you doing someone else's chores for them?
Were you just killing time, finding things to do all by lonesome?
Was it even you who mistakenly put in the trash?
Was it your kids being kids? If so, the guilt they will carry around forever
Well I'm going out there to get a look at the
To get a look at those I'm connected by and see how it all may have shaped me
Well I'm going out there though I'm not really
I'm just so up about it, how is it that this sad history repeated?
I'll return to Ohio, to the place I was
Going to see where I hung with my cousins and played with them in the snow and fished in 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 Carissa

Gonna go to Ohio, where I was
Got a 10:45 AM flight, I'm tomorrow morn
Going to see my aunts and uncles, my and sisters
Mostly I'm going to pay my respects to my little second Carissa

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

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