[English]
SueI got the job
We'll buy the house
You'll need to rest
But now we'll make it
Sue
The Clinic called
the X-rays file
I brought you home
I just said home
Sue you said you wanted riches
Sue the virgin on your stone
for your grave
Why too dark to speak the words
For I know that you have a son
Oh folly Sue
Sue I pushed you down
Beneath the weeds endless faith
In hopeless deeds
I kissed your face
Sue
Goodbye
