Ladybug Lyrics
Tawnee, you had just turned 21 when I got the call saying you were gone
I had just seen you with her under two weeks ago
You got a job out in Salt Lake keeping books at a machinery shop
But you had always wanted to sing with bright lights and see the world
All the signs were right there, we just couldn’t see
All the signs were right there, we just couldn’t believe
You were so young, so beautiful, you’ll always be
Lily and Alice, your cats thought you were coming back, stayed under your bed for two damn weeks
‘Cause you left that night thinking you’d be home again by three
You had so many days left to see thе golden eagles from thе road
And watch your dark-haired son grow up and turn gray and old
All the signs were right there, we just couldn’t see
All the signs were right there, we just couldn’t believe
You were so young, so beautiful, you’ll always be
