Lyrics of 'Kara' by Andrew Osegna

Here where i live in indiana,
It's just a small town, like any other,
There lived the prettiest girl around,
She had blonde hair and glasses.
Her name was kara.

She was a senior at the high school.
I was on break from the university.
Sure, i had seen her. sure, i had known her.
She was a girl then, now she was a woman.

And i was gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone
Like the apple, adam couldn't help himself,
I was gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

She worked on weekends down at the grocery,
So saturday morning i had to go shopping.
We made some small talk, i tried to be funny,
When she smiled with those innocent eyes,
I knew she could see through me.

Later that evening, we took a walk outside.
The leaves were crunching, and our stars were crossing.
We smiled at nothing at all, we laughed at everything,
But monday morning, classes they were starting...

And i was gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone
Like a falling star in an indiana night,
I was gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

First, i came back home every chance that i could get,
Then things started getting a little busier, and the holidays were over.
Before you knew it i took a summer job in indianapolis,
And the city draped its fog over me.
I told myself i was too busy to write.
Biggest mistake i ever made.

When i came home at the end of the summer,
I called up kara, and i got her mother,
She said she'd left for school in north carolina
To study art and do something wonderful.

Kara, where we're from, here in indiana,
We're just a small town, like any other,
And we all watched you, because we loved you.
You were so beautiful. you didn't even try.

And you were gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone
Like the autumn i fell in love,
You were gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

Do something beautiful.
I know you will...
