There was a girl who used to live At the gray house by the bridge At the edge of the empty world Carmen's the name That evokes the fear and shame From the people that she left behind She had the spirit To live her life so free Although many people wanted to clip her wings She ran away She broke away the chains That they wrapped around her heart The people said, "Out of all the things she's done The worst one was just leaving without saying goodbye" The people said, "Out of all the things she's done The worst one was just leaving without saying goodbye" Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Carmen The voices cry out Carmen The voices die out Carmen The voices cry out Carmen The voices die out Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Carmen Carmen
