Mona
FM Lyrics

Ten years I've been toeing the line
I have been obediently doing what I'm told to do for 10 years now

Served a sentence but committed no crime
I was punished for something I did not do

Worked my fingers to the bone
I have worked very hard and for very long hours

Just to make this happy home
I have made every effort to create a joyful and contented living space

I remember the day when Mona came to town
I clearly recall the day Mona arrived in our town

She drove a '57 Chevy with the top rolled down
Mona had a convertible Chevrolet from 1957 which she drove with the hood down

It was a long hot summer, the sweat rolled down her skin
It was an intolerably hot summer, Mona was sweating profusely in the heat

Everything stopped and this is where the story begins
All other events were put on hold, the story starts here

Oh, I don't know who she was
I am not aware of Mona's identity

I don't know why she came
I am unsure of the purpose behind Mona's arrival

But I'll never forget her name
Regardless of the above, I will always remember Mona's name

Come back, Mona
I wish Mona would return

Where are you, Mona?
I am wondering where Mona is currently

Well, the years rolled by and I watch the seasons change
Time passed and I watched the shifting of seasons

There's a hole in my life and it's never gonna be the same
There is an emptiness in my life, things will never be the same after Mona left

And every time that summer comes around
Whenever summer arrives once more

I remember the day that Mona came to town
I recall the arrival of Mona with complete clarity

Oh, well, the minutes turn to hours
As time passes, minutes become hours

And the hours turn to days
As time passes further, hours become days

I try to put it all behind me
I attempt to move on from the memories of Mona

But the memories still remain
However, the memories of Mona still linger and persist

Ooh-hoo...
