D.O.A.

Orange

Was the favorite color

Of a girl I never met

Of a girl I never knew

Of a girl I'll never know.

I never will forget you

You were my first

I pray you'll be my last

You were gone

Before I arrived

In my arms

I carried you

You were so small and frail...

I was the referee in

That game I tried to fix

I stared him straight in the face and

I tried to cheat that son of a bitch but

He didn't belong, yet there he was

And for eternity, there he'd stay...

Your mother's farewell words

Was where I learned

Of a girl I never met

Of a girl I never knew

Of a girl I'll never know

Of the girl who still visits

Whenever I see

Her favorite color

Orange
