Her name was Charlotte
She lived in my dorm on the second floor
I was a freshman
I think she was a sophomore
The TV in the commons called the play by play
For some far off Asian war
Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore

She had a boyfriend
His number came up and he went off to war
She had a problem
Whispers shared behind closed doors
Digits scrawled by a friend of a friend
Furtively slipped under her door
Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore

We had to rely on the kindness of strangers
None of us knew who to trust in the end
But we found out when we got in trouble
Everyone  knew someone  with a friend of a friend

She called the number
They sent her to a payphone by a store
Said they could help her
500 dollars would  get her in their door
A ride with a stranger after midnight brought her
to an office on a darkened floor
Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore

What would you do if it were you
(Did what we had to in '72)
Leaps of faith clandestine moves
(Did what we had to in '72)
Scared of what we had to  lose
(Did what we had to in'72)
Fought so our daughters could safely choose

Charlotte came back early
She didn't have her problem anymore
Brought her some breakfast
She moaned just leave it by the door
her friend checked her later she had fever
Higher than she'd ever had before
Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore

I was in the commons when they rolled
Charlotte  past the open door
Her roommate found her
Blood soaked lying on the bathroom floor
House mother said  later Charlotte couldn't
Come back to the second floor
Yeah, Charlotte isn't with us anymore

We had to rely on the kindness of strangers
None of us knew who to trust in the end
But we found out when we got in trouble
Everyone  knew someone with a friend of a friend
We all knew someone with a friend of a friend

Friend of a friend
(Ahhhhh)
Friend of a friend
(ahhhhhhh)
Friend of a friend
