Luyện nghe bài hát Carissa

Oh Carissa, when I saw you, you were a lovely child
And the last I saw you, you were fifteen and pregnant and running wild
I remember wondering, could there be a light at the end of tunnel?
But I left Ohio then and had pretty much forgotten all you
I guess you there some years ago at a family funeral
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 back and she was in tears and had I spoke to my father?
Carissa burned to last night in a freak accident fire
In her yard in Brewster her daughter home from a party and found her
Same way as my uncle, who was her
An can blew up in the trash, goddamn, what were the odds?

She was just getting to go to her midnight shift as an RN in Wadsworth
And she up in flames like that 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 to give and get some hugs
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 just raise two and take out your trash and die
She was my cousin, I didn't know her well 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 senseless tragedy, O Carissa, I'll sing your name across every sea

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

Gonna go to Ohio, where I was
Got a AM flight, I'm leaving tomorrow morn
Going to see my aunts and uncles, my parents and
Mostly I'm going to pay my respects to my little cousin Carissa

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

Carissa was thirty-five, kids since she was fifteen years old and suddenly died
to an old river, fire pit, oh there's gotta be more than that to it
She was only my second 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 sure her name is known across every city
