Schwa Lyrics

Ophelia

Lyricist: The Band
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

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
where have you gone

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

They got your number
they're Scared and runnin'
But I'm just waitin' for the second comin'
Of Ophelia
please knock on my door

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

Ashes of laughter
The coast is clear
Why do the best things always disappear 
Like Ophelia
Please come back home
