The Real Ramona - Not Too Soon


 

She colorblind tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him, likes it that way
He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away

"It's not too soon" he said, "you know, It's not too soon at all"
"And you might as well be dead", he said "If you're afraid to fall",
I said, "I know her"

She said,"Why do you stare so hard?"
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver

"It's not too soon" he said, "you know, It's not too soon at all"
"You might as well be dead", he said "If you're afraid to fall",
I said, "I know her

The last time I saw you,
You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face,
I watched you fall apart

"It's not too soon" he said, "It's not too soon at all"
"You might as well be dead", he said, "If you're afraid to fall",
I said, "Done your time, been in your place I couldn't look you in the face
And tell you that it turns me on it makes my stomach turn to know, I know her".
