Story behind the song
Written for a girl who, sadly, died....
Lyrics
Aint no songs that I can sing
bring the brightness back
all the stars are fading now
night's so very black
coffee cups and cigarettes
they wont help me to forget
Karen's floating to the moon
Candy bars and sugar spoons
hear the sound of mandolins
Now the loneliness begins
Karen loves a silver Lord
holds a needle like a sword
he puts rainbows in her hand
shows her where the pain began
hear the sound of mandolins
now the loneliness begins
Karen's floating on the sea
with all the kings of history
comets firing in her hair
in a world of teddy bears
hear the sound of mandolins
now the loneliness begins.
