Trekquiem

I lost my baby
 Let me tell you 
 Right around episode three or four 
 He put on a shirt of a red hue
 And then he walked right out the door 

He said he'd be safe, not to worry 
 The captain was coming along 
 But when he died, I got so very sad
 And that’s why I’m singing this song

Well, how many times can a woman lose a man?
 And how many episodes until she understands
 That death is cold and death is bold and we all heed its call
 And it’s easier to live having never loved at all

I will follow

Well, I lost my baby soon after
 Right around episode twenty-five
 And just like the first, he didn’t beam back
 Even though everyone else survived 

He swore nothing bad would happen
 The planet was safe and secure
 But when he died, I got so very mad
 It was more than a girl could endure

I lost my baby 
 Around episode thirty six
 I thought that nothing bad could happen
 ‘Cause he never left the ship

But later that week at his service 
 They said some beautiful things
 And then they jettisoned his body 
 Along with my wedding ring
