Lyrics for Carol + 44 - Svend Engh
Chapter 1
From the Vinyl Album – also available on Spotify – Carol with the one man band Wet Parsnip
1. She Came Out Through the Bathroom Window
Lyrics by Engh and Scharff¹
She came out through the bathroom window
The war was all around
She never heard a whisper, she never heard a sound
The war was all around
It was like a waterfall
And the rainbow was so clear
Although the canons fired, she felt no fear
'Cause she had heard the music in her ear
The thing you could compare to the life above
Water pouring tenderly was something she could hear
And the pretty birds singing in her ear
She left the land and went away
She still hasn’t been seen to this day
She left from here, but she must be somewhere
Maybe she’s just floating in the air
2. She Slammed the Door
She slammed the door and left him there
Pale face in the light from the moon
She looked around and saw her world
And saw it had changed into a cartoon
The suburban street in front of her
Filled with cars made to forget
The colors of the fifties
Bright shining yellow and red
Chorus
In the valley lies the forest
Silverlight, flesh and bones
It was time for her to choose
Between the rocks and stones
She felt the cold of the night
As she reached the end of the street
She turned around and saw him there
Looking helpless from head to feet
As she reached the end of the line
She felt the bones under her shoes
The fear was something she could face
She had to find a way to handle the blues
Chorus
The house collapsed and the walls fell down
Dust was spread everywhere
On the shelf, a photo was there
Showing a bride with pearls in her hair
She slammed the door and left him there
Pale face in the light from the moon
She looked around and saw her world
And saw it had changed into a cartoon
Chorus
3. Carol
You said you were finished with men
I said yeah, sure
and kissed you again
You asked me if I didn't hear what you just said
I said yeah, sure
and had you on my bed
Chorus
Carol, you are the proudest girl I've ever seen
Carol, everything about you is a loving Queen
Carol, your mouth tastes of red strawberry
Carol, indeed you are dear and merry
After one year you were still on my bed
I think it’s true, the thing that you said
That you were done with foolish men
I just hope that I’m not one of them
Chorus
Carol, when you shower I wait outside
Carol, whenever you smile I see the light
Carol, your skin is soft and sweet
Carol, everything about you is neat
Chorus
Carol, a shining diamond is what you are
Carol, you are a glooming Star
Carol, your body is out of sight
Carol, I think about you day and night
4. Return in the snow
In the middle of a good old fight
I saw the light
It was the torch in your heart
I saw you fell apart
Then you gave me a golden ring
Said it was the
