about

On the surface this is an ode to Ophelia. There's a spatter of the philosophical and a sprinkling of reflection. Dramatic orchestral pop rock with a harpsichord air of court.

lyrics

OPHELIA

Ophelia Ophelia
Mould me into stone
Turn me inside in and
Upside down

Ophelia Ophelia
Make my day
As brutal as it may be
I'm of clay

Ophelia Ophelia
Lying in the water
Littered flowers and laces
Swaying ‘'bout her

Ophelia Ophelia
Caught downstream
Resting on her bed of 
Auburn dreams

Cover me after dark
Cover me
What a lark ooo hoo
What are lark's singing for

For the birdsong
For the sun
For battles lost
Battles won
She walks in wild gone
Beauty

Ignorance is bliss
They shout it out
But all you beasts of burden be
Still be cool be calm

Ignorance is bliss
They shout it out
Don't follow her eyes and
Fall into the
Stone stoney arms

Ignorance is bliss
They shout it out
But all you beasts of burden be
Still cool calm

Ignorance is bliss
They shout it out
Don't follow her eyes and
Fall into her
Stone cold yarn

Ophelia Ophelia
Ophelia Ophelia
Ophelia Ophelia

Ophelia Ophelia
Ophelia Ophelia
Ophelia Ophelia

Ophelia Ophelia
Duty at these shores
Bound you to this place
Evermore

Ophelia Ophelia
Silver gowned soul
Not all that we reap
Do we sow

Ophelia Ophelia
Slated queen
Fate has played beneath that
Willow tree

Ophelia Ophelia
A painting on the wall
A woman in a tale
I recall

Ophelia
