..Whatever Became Of Her
  .  
The Bedroom Tapes
   

Lyrics by: Carly Simon
Music by: Carly Simon

   

 

   

There they are
Smiling so wide
Like there´s nothing to lose
And nothing to hide
They look forward with innocence
She is his bride
The future´s a radiant blur
So I wonder whatever became of him
Whatever became of her?


A little boutique
On the Upper East Side
Picture a couple so dignified
Two hat boxes fall
And feathers collide
Darling tell me
Which one do you prefer?
Well I wonder whatever became of him
Whatever became of her?

Everything breaks
Except the broken plates
Everything gets stolen
Except the things
You don´t want anyway
The things you don´t want anyway


She played the piano
And he used to smoke
She used to slap her own thigh
When he made a joke
He started her heart
Whenever he spoke
His own turning cold, like a bird
Well I wonder whatever became of him
Whatever became of her?

I want to say, "No, go back, resist
Don´t step out of the photograph
Don´t hurt yourselves
Stay innocent
Don´t hurt yourselves“

Two shadows playing
Across the lawn
Is it tomorrow´s twilight
Or yesterday´s dawn?
You can hardly make out
What they´ve got on
But they´re mighty in love, you´ll agree
So I wonder whatever became of him
Whatever became of me?
