Laura, are still living there
On your estate of sorrow?
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 pass the statues
How eyes seemed to follow you
Like a hated addiction
That beauty carved out of absolutes
You could never claim
Or even envision
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
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
Do know we're in high demand, Laura us
People who suffer
Because we don't take to arguing
And we're quick to surrender
I think I would call tonight
If I still had your number
Your thoughts have always laid close to mine
We were both skipping supper
But you should never be embarrassed by
Your trouble with living
Cause it's the ones with the sorest throats
Laura, who have done the most singing

Laura, are you still living there on your estate of sorrow? You used to leave it occasionally. But now you just can't be bothered to ride that commuter train west to Chicago, to stroll through the greenery, in the park, past the statues. How their eyes seemed to follow you like a hated addiction. Their beauty carved out of absolutes you would never claim, or even envision. Laura you were the saddest song in the shape of a woman. And I thought you were beautiful, but I wept with your movements. But I hope that you are laughing now from that place on the carpet where we shared a sleeping bag, in your sisters apartment.
Oh how she would worry so, and worry so, you know I was just a stranger. But she asked me to care for you, that is what she did. And I went and betrayed her. But did you know we are in high demand, Laura, us people who suffer? Because we don't take to arguing and we are quick to surrender. Well, I think I would call you tonight if I still knew your number. Your thoughts have always laid next to mine. We were both skipping supper. But you should never feel embarrassed by all your trouble with living. Because it is the ones with the sorest throats, Laura, who have done the most singing. Everybody! La La La La La La La La La Lah...
When I first listened to the album Lifted or the Story..., I'd play the more popular songs; Lover I Don't Have to Love, Bowl of Oranges, etc. But this song is one of those songs that you fall in love with after giving the whole album a run through.
