but coalhouse had a broken heart
[coalhouse, spoken]
the good lord looked down and saw me lonely and lovelеss
and he thought to himself
“enough is enough
i’m putting sarah into coalhousе’s life”
[coalhouse]
and he did
[coalhouse, spoken]
this wasn’t a woman
this was an angel, a gift of god
now coalhouse loved this woman
but not wisely and not too well
she left me without a word or trace
and there was no pity for me
[sarah’s friend, spoken]
none at all, coalhouse
oh, please
[coalhouse]
now she is haunting me
just like a melody
the only song i seem to know
sarah, my life has changed
sarah, i miss you so
sarah, i did you wrong
sarah, where did you go?
[coalhouse, spoken]
and then this morning, the miracle happened
i found out where she is
and i’m gonna do my d~mnedest to see she takes me back
