Ophelia

She who walks alone in life

She of sound mind

I am only as old as I've been told

Now I'm playing for time

Darling take me to the lakeside

Wash my body well

I am holy now the water's hit me

Broken from your spell

'Cause I was on my hands and knees

Bending at the heart of me

We don't know the weight of all

The words we say now

In a few more years, with open ears

Would you still say them aloud?

They who walk alone in life

They are of sound mind

We can only get hurt by things we've heard

And lovers are unkind

But did you hear the sun go down?

Silent as a child I found

Hiding in the midnight of my soul

I am ready now to let her go

She who walks alone in life

She by herself

We are only as old as we've been told

And I'm not ready for the shelf

Darling take me to the lakeside

Lay my body down

I am holy now while skin is touching

Let the sun go out

I am on my hands and knees

Bending at the heart of me

Hiding in the midnight of my soul

Please don't break the shell that I call home
