Ophelia - Marika Hackman

Now I’m playing for time

Darling take me to the lakeside

Wash my body well

I am holy now the water’s hit me

Broken from your spell

I was on my hands and knees

Bending at the heart of me

We don’t know the weight of all the words we say now

In a few more years, with open ears

Would you still say them aloud?

They who walk alone in life

They are of sound mind

We can only get hurt by things we’ve heard

And lovers are unkind

Did you hear the sun go down?

Silent as a child I found

Hiding in the midnight of my soul

I am ready now to let her go
