(John Lombardo/Mary Ramsey)
Now she is living in the garret
From fear she never leaves her home
The neighbors sunning on their porches
The world enchanting down below
She knows them like they were a family
But it is she they never see
Ooh Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking gla**
Her heart sinks slowly
Clare spends time with books
Of fancy riddled rhymes
And she tries hard at learning new words
She's making lists of every vow
She'll never keep
Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking gla**
Her heart sinks slowly
When sorting through her mind
She finds it hard to find
A memory that is all her own
Ooh you took all I ever wanted
As through your own
Clare wakes up, morning starts with a parade
The flags were snapping in the sun
She saw old soldiers on display
Bowed and greyed but not afraid
Clare wraps the scarf around her head
The one she loves, rubious red
Peers through the looking gla**
She walks on slowly
Ooh you took all I ever wanted
As through your own
