It seems so long ago
None of us were strong;
Nancy wore green stockings
And she slept with everyone
She never said she'd wait for us
Although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us
In nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
A forty five beside her head
An open telephone
We told her she was beautiful
We told her she was free
But none of us would meet her in
It’s unlikely that Nancy actually had a telephone with her in the bathroom where she committed suicide. Leonard is telling us that she was trying to reach out to someone who could understand her, but couldn’t think of anyone since her relationships were all superficial.
