[Verse 1]
Laura, are you still living there on your estate of sorrows?
You used to leave it occasionally, but now you don't even bother
To ride that commuter train west to Chicago
To stroll through the greenery in the park past the statues
[Refrain 1]
How their eyes seemed to follow you like a hated addiction
Their beauty carved out of absolutes that you could never claim
Or even envision
[Verse 2]
Laura, you were the saddest song in the shape of a woman
Yeah, I thought you were beautiful but I wept with your movements
But I hope that you're laughing now from that place on the carpet
Where we shared a sleeping bag in your sister's apartment
[Refrain 2]
Oh, how she would worry so, you know, I was just a stranger
But she asked me to care for you, yes she did
And I went and betrayed her
[Refrain 3]
But do you know we're in high demand, Laura
Us people who suffer
Because we don't take to arguing
And we're quick to surrender
