From the recording The Snake and the Money Jar
Lyrics
Carrie
Oh you start me singing
When you come in the room
I’ve written out a load of words
I’ve almost got a tune
It is just a moon in June
A honeymoon cliché
I couldn’t catch the meaning
Of what I meant to say
Is that Ok Carrie, Carrie Ok
Is that Ok Carrie, Carrie Ok
Is that Ok Carrie, Carrie Ok
Is that Ok Carrie, Carrie Ok
A song came on the radio
And suddenly I heard
It sayin’ what I meant to say
If I’d just had the words
I wish I had the learnin’
To write you something new
I hope that singing this old song
Will show my love for you
Chorus
Now I don’t know who wrote it
Some educated fool
Who’d fallen for pretty girl
Who sounded just like you
He sang about her golden hair
Eyes of emerald green
Just about the sweetest thing
That he had ever seen
Chorus
