"Ophelia (Concert Version)" lyrics
(from "The Last Waltz" soundtrack)
Boards on the window, mail by the door
What 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
Where have you gone?
Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama, I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know that I'd die for you
They got your number, they're scared and runnin'
But I'm just waitin' for the second comin'
Of 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
Ashes of laughter, the ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia
Please come back home
What 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
Where have you gone?
Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama, I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know that I'd die for you
They got your number, they're scared and runnin'
But I'm just waitin' for the second comin'
Of 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
Ashes of laughter, the ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia
Please come back home
