And we got so high that I couldn't stop crying
And we almost had to cancel the show
And I started to tell someone else's story
And took a bow after it was told

Well I understood it so it was mine
And you, you understand
You understand this just fine
Oh Cathy, I found out what I don't know

Oh Cathy, Catharine
Look over my shoulder tell me what you see
Oh Cathy, Catharine
Cue the dramatic music, this is our scene

There's no going home, well yes, of course there is
If you are into the amount of pain it will bring
There is no going home, oh yes of course there is
If civil war battlefields is your thing

The last time I saw you, you left without saying goodbye
Sometimes there is no next time and I hate to think twice
Oh Cathy, I wish I didn't have to go

Oh Cathy, Catharine
Look over my shoulder tell me what you see
Oh Cathy, Catharine
Cue the dramatic music, this is our scene
