Ophelia I wish you'd come home I wish you'd stop those wonders through the woods Ophelia please step back from the river bank You can't swim Oh Ophelia they said it was so tragic They thought you were so beautifully morose Your hair flowing from under you Like the pond **** dragged downstream Oh Ophelia they thought you looked so lovely Skin as pale and cold as the petals on those lily pads Glittering like treasure on a bed of rocks in the freezing blue Pale, still and passive Oh Ophelia they said it was so poetic That like the lady of the lake you would be preserved, Mythical in their minds, decomposing in form As the river dragged you further from home Oh Ophelia they called me down at midday The funeral was planned they said A mythical theme they said The colour scheme blue and green Oh Ophelia they enjoyed the ceremony There were girls dressed as mermaids singing siren songs As they drank tea and pink lemonade A party for Poseidon Oh Ophelia I wish you'd come home They turned your voice from truth to sugar They turned your mind from pure to perfume They're turning my life from reality to nightmare Oh Ophelia I wish you'd said goodbye I miss our talks in the moonlight under the gaze of a million stars You saw the world so raw, so true And they forced your mind away Oh Ophelia I'm so sorry I let them whisk you away from reality I let you dance with the fairies Even though you didn't belong in their dream Oh Ophelia how I miss you And wish that you could come home I kept your books in a box in my closet When if I'd wanted to help you I'd have buried that corset instead

Lady of the Lake
Ophelia I wish you'd come home I wish you'd stop those wonders through the woods Ophelia please step back from the river bank You can't swim Oh Ophelia they said it was so tragic They thought you were so beautifully morose Your hair flowing from under you Like the pond **** dragged downstream Oh Ophelia they thought you looked so lovely Skin as pale and cold as the petals on those lily pads Glittering like treasure on a bed of rocks in the freezing blue Pale, still and passive Oh Ophelia they said it was so poetic That like the lady of the lake you would be preserved, Mythical in their minds, decomposing in form As the river dragged you further from home Oh Ophelia they called me down at midday The funeral was planned they said A mythical theme they said The colour scheme blue and green Oh Ophelia they enjoyed the ceremony There were girls dressed as mermaids singing siren songs As they drank tea and pink lemonade A party for Poseidon Oh Ophelia I wish you'd come home They turned your voice from truth to sugar They turned your mind from pure to perfume They're turning my life from reality to nightmare Oh Ophelia I wish you'd said goodbye I miss our talks in the moonlight under the gaze of a million stars You saw the world so raw, so true And they forced your mind away Oh Ophelia I'm so sorry I let them whisk you away from reality I let you dance with the fairies Even though you didn't belong in their dream Oh Ophelia how I miss you And wish that you could come home I kept your books in a box in my closet When if I'd wanted to help you I'd have buried that corset instead
