Lyrics
Florence Eva
Black veil, eyes smudged, she's ok.
Thin hands, red wine, the rug is stained.
The tablecloth's full
- it looked so beautiful,
Black veil, eyes smudged, she's ok.
Florence Eva, are you ok?
Florence Eva, you bearing up?
They say it's the shock that kills,
- it'll take you sixteen years.
Will you ever stop feeling alone?
It was the shock that killed her
- life ebbs annd flows.
No use, so empty
- poor Florence, not bearing up.
Black veil, eyes smudged, she's ok.
Florence Eva, are you ok?
Florence Eva, you bearing up?
In white she lies still
- she looks so beautiful,
Black veil, eyes smudged, I'm ok.
