Carlene

Carlene would you mind if I lit a fire
My hand's too cold to work this way
And you can rest assured that I am awfully tired
Of sitting bored without your soul today

Carlene would you mind if we stayed inside
We'll bundle up and pray for rain
And you can rest assured that there is nothing else
I'd rather do than sit and waste today

And we won't age well but Carlene nobody ever does
So let's catch some sun and drink our Cabernet
And if we have a daughter we'll name her after you
And if we have a son
We still could do it too

Carlene I'm so scared of falling in line
I haven't left my room for days
But you can rest assured that there will come a time
When I'll wake up every morning to your face

And we won't age well but Carlene nobody ever does
So let's catch some sun and drink our Cabernet
And if we have a daughter we'll name her after you
And if we have a son
We still could do it too

Carlene
Oh my Carlene
Will you listen to me now
Oh

The sun comes up
The sun goes down
I fall asleep
She lays me down

The sun comes up
The sun goes down
I fall asleep
Will you give me a daughter
(She lays me down)

(The sun comes up)
Will you give me a daughter Carlene
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
And I name her after you Carlene
(She lays me down)

(The sun comes up)
And I'll only know one name
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
And I'll only know one name
(She lays me down)

And I'll only know one name
(The sun comes up)
And I'll only know one name and it's Carlene
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
For the rest of my days
(She lays me down)

For the rest of my days
(The sun comes up)
For the rest of my dying days
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
It's Carlene
(She lays me down)

And everybody's trying
(The sun comes up)
Everybody's crying
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
Everybody wants to meet our baby
(She lays me down)

Everybody's trying
(The sun comes up)
Everybody's crying
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
Everybody's dying they're dying to meet her
(She lays me down)

For the rest of our days
(The sun comes up)
For the rest of our days
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
For the rest of our dying dying days oh
(She lays me down)

The sun comes up
(The sun comes up)
The sun goes down
(The sun goes down)
I fall asleep
(I fall asleep)
Carlene lays me down
(She lays me down)

For the rest of my days
(The sun comes up)
For the rest of my days
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
For the rest of my dying dying days
(She lays me down)

For the rest of my days
(The sun comes up)
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
For the rest of my dying dying days oh
(She lays me down)

(The sun comes up)
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
(She lays me down)

(The sun comes up)
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
(She lays me down)

(The sun comes up)
(The sun goes down)
(I fall asleep)
(She lays me down)
