Laura in C Major (A minor)

Laura, Laura
Looking for a
Heart to hold a hand

Now I know
I’ve seen something
That I know I shouldn’t have

And now her heart is broken
Like the car parts in the street
And now my heart is broken
To see a phase of life complete

Laura, Laura
Years before a
Mother and a wife

Independent
And sufficient
To lead her own life

And now her heart is broken
Like the car parts in the street
And now my heart is broken
To see a phase of life complete

Mother takes a phone call
She’s been training herself to hear
While the son plays with the phone cord
Miles away from a mother’s fears

Laura, Laura
How ignore a
Light that wasn’t green

The car before
You lost the war
May very well have been me

It comes to this
As all things lose
Their right to live at home

I saw the beginning
To your end
But we all must die alone

And now her heart is broken
Like the car parts in the street
And now my heart is broken
To see a phase of life complete
