Lyrics

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?
Mama, I know we broke the rule
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know
I'd die for you

Ashes of laughter
The coast is clear
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like ophelia
Please drop through my door

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

They got your number
Scared and runnin'
But I'm just waitin'
For the second comin'
Of ophelia
Come back home
