Charlie Lyrics

Chorus:	 Charlie's gone where there is no touch



	 And none of the crew will miss him much



	 Charlie's gone to where he was grown



	 Living with others yet always alone







Charlie tried to be polite



But Charlie couldn't control his fear



Nor yet distinguish wrong from right



Nor laughter for fun from a jeer



But we who had to share this ship



With such a monster in shape of man



Are glad to see him end his trip



Right back where he first began







Charlie reached for someone's love



He never learned you must not use force



And underneath his velvet glove



Were talons of steel of course



And lashing out at all the crew



Until his Keepers had stopped his game



He never learned the things to do



To merit the human name







Charlie went back home today 



We were not sorry to see him go



The magic tricks he chose to play 



Made quite a remarkable show



Now he's left for a land of ghosts



With no one reaching to him at all



He hurt his friends and killed his hosts



Now no one will come at his call















Words and music:Kathy Mar
