Текст песни
She never wanted an ex-con lover
All she wanted was to make him aware
She sold the house, the dog, everything he loved
Maybe she wouldn't have ran if you never called her a whore
Her fiancé, Kevin, was a wealthy man with money to buy anyone's love
He bought her diamonds and a nice car she always wanted
She was so happy until the day of the wedding
Kevin had bought another woman's heart with the same diamond necklace he had bought her
With the same engraving that read, my one and only
This broke her, she sold the bracelet for a million, the house for three
And drove away in the car he bought her
The day of the wedding she arrived in a white dress with black gloves
And a clock around her neck ticking down for her to run away
They were together hand in hand until clock strikes twelve
When she ran away, leaving her shoes behind, the ones Kevin bought her
Black and embroidered, with love and my life in abbreviation
Kevin kept the shoes, and when people asked him about it
He said, it's from the loss of my life, the runaway bride that made the papers
Carol camped out in an apartment she called her own
No food or water, but that's all she owed
Carol died a fortnight after, that's all she wrote
Kevin never found Carol, for years he searched until a relative told him
Carol had died
