And in my room, IÆm alone in my room  And maybe staying here for just awhile  and in my casket, IÆm alone in my gloom  and maybe staying here for just awhile    Oh, canÆt you see light is only in your eyes?  Would I be guilty oh, would I be?  The sound you bring is an antiquated thing  So please donÆt look to me for guidance    Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand    My splendid art, oh my sad profession  Now stick with me and IÆll betray you  For should I lose my bad depression  My splendid art I will betray you    Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand    Haul me out of the water  Haul me onto the land  Beneath the sky there is an open fire  I do understand    Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand  Charlotte Anne I do understand
