Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boards on the window, mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for
Ophelia, mmm, where have you gone?
[Verse 2]
The old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became
Of Ophelia, mmm, tell me, what went wrong?
[Verse 3]
Was it something that somebody said?
Mama, I know we broke the rule
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you
[Verse 4]
Ashes of laughter, the ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia, please, darken my door
[Verse 5]
Was it something that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rule
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you
[Verse 6]
They got your number, scared and running
But I'm still waiting for the second coming
Of Ophelia, mmm hmm, come back home
Mmm hmm
