darken my door

Boards on the window
Mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so
quickly for?
Ophelia...
Where have you gone?

The old neighborhood
just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became
of Ophelia --
Tell me, what went wrong...

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Honey you know we broke the rules...
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know -- I'd die for you --

Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always
disappear
Like Ophelia --
Please darken my door.

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rules--
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know, that I'd die for you...

They got your number
Scared and runnin'
But I'm still waitin' for the
second comin'
Of Ophelia

Come back home
