Kathy Mar - Charlie lyrics

Chorus: Charlie's gone where there is no touch And none of the crew will miss him much Charlie's gone to where he was grown Living with others yet always alone Charlie tried to be polite But Charlie couldn't control his fear Nor yet distinguish wrong from right Nor laughter for fun from a jeer But we who had to share this ship With such a monster in shape of man Are glad to see him end his trip Right back where he first began Charlie reached for someone's love He never learned you must not use force And underneath his velvet glove Were talons of steel of course And lashing out at all the crew Until his Keepers had stopped his game He never learned the things to do To merit the human name Charlie went back home today We were not sorry to see him go The magic tricks he chose to play Made quite a remarkable show Now he's left for a land of ghosts With no one reaching to him at all He hurt his friends and k**ed his hosts Now no one will come at his call Words and music: Kathy Mar Copyright 1987 Kathy Mar
