Lucinda |
|
We met one summer evening |
|
As the sun was going down |
|
She was lying on the beach |
|
In her graduation gown |
|
She was wrapped up in a blanket |
|
(I could tell she knew her way around) |
|
And as I lay down beside her |
|
You know she never made a sound |
|
On down the beach came the beach-cleaning man |
|
Scoopin' up the papers and flattening down the sand |
|
"Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - we've got to run away |
|
That big white truck is closin' in |
|
And we'll get wounded if we stay" |
|
Now Lucinda lies buried 'neath the California sand |
|
Put under by the beach-cleaning man |
|
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - why'd you have to go? |
|
They sent her to high school |
|
Hey sent her to low school |
|
She just wouldn't go further |
