about

This song is about Carl Tanzler.
Written for Kate Ferencz to cover.

lyrics

It was love (8)
You came to me in a dream
I knew you were a darkskinned beauty
Everyone else in town knew too
and I knew you had to be with me
It was love (8)
I was your doctor
you died of cancer
Then I dug your body
out of the earth it was the only answer
It was love (8)
You laid in my bed
I was not lonely
I covered up your scent
with some ammonia
It was love (8)
You were discovered
By dirty rumors
That happened to be true
And then I lost you
It was love (8)
I had to move on
They took your body
But the statute of limitations
had run out already
so I beat the charges
even tho they just found me
I moved to florida with my daughter
And my family
Took good care of me
But I always knew
in the back of my heart
There was another
And we had to be apart
until we died
It was love (8)
then I died finally
We were reunited
We held hands in a green field and now we’re always happy
It is love (8)
