Karen's Blues

You arrived alive in the Spring
 And for a reckless little while, I took you in
 It was well known you were born to lose
 Born to be back
 Born to use me
 And all that summer we played a game
 And I knew that you'd leave and you'd said you'd stay
 Well Autumn's blue came and wrecked my heart
 You wretched little wind, you do blow hard
 And no, no, no goes the sparrow
 My feet, feet, feet are on my road
 No I can't, go back to where I am from
 For all that, life's not so terrible
 Karen where have you been?
 For just a little while on the street of Lexington
 Long hair sitting in the sun
 You were so young, so full of devastation
 And no, no, no goes the sparrow
 My feet, feet, feet are on my road
 No I can't, go back to where I'm from
 For all that, life is not so terrible
 Oh sweet, sweet, sweet is the sparrow
 My feet, feet, feet are on my road
 No I can't, go back to where I'm from
 For all that, life is not so terrible
