A SONG FOR OPHELIA
You were a pretty young girl
In a fanciful world
With a heart pure and true
You knew it was love
You knew it was love
Because of the words he said to you
But then one day
It all went away'
And a dark cloud fell on him
It was never the same
You were ever ignored
Ignored after what you gave him
Ignored after what you gave him
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad tale still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
It was madness
You heard your father say
Because he told you to push him away
Stay away from him
Leave him alone
Was what your brother said when he left home
Ghosts is the night
A murder most foul
Lots of tension upon his brow
He raged upon his mother
Thought he killed his father's brother
But he took your father down
But he took your father down
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad tale still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
And in your grief and woe
You didn't really know
What to think and what to do
So you drowned in a river
You always were a giver
There was nothing left for you
There was nothing left for you
Cast your flowers
Unto the floor
There is no reason to grieve anymore
Outrageous fortune
Has had it's way
And it's time for a brand new day
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad story still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
How many have played this role?
To many have played this role
You were a pretty young girl
In a fanciful world
With a heart pure and true
You knew it was love
You knew it was love
Because of the words he said to you
But then one day
It all went away'
And a dark cloud fell on him
It was never the same
You were ever ignored
Ignored after what you gave him
Ignored after what you gave him
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad tale still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
It was madness
You heard your father say
Because he told you to push him away
Stay away from him
Leave him alone
Was what your brother said when he left home
Ghosts is the night
A murder most foul
Lots of tension upon his brow
He raged upon his mother
Thought he killed his father's brother
But he took your father down
But he took your father down
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad tale still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
And in your grief and woe
You didn't really know
What to think and what to do
So you drowned in a river
You always were a giver
There was nothing left for you
There was nothing left for you
Cast your flowers
Unto the floor
There is no reason to grieve anymore
Outrageous fortune
Has had it's way
And it's time for a brand new day
It's a song for Ophelia
This sad story still is told
It's a song for Ophelia
How many have played this role?
How many have played this role?
To many have played this role
