Ophelia Lyrics
Boards on the window, mail by the door
What 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

Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you
They got your number, scared and running
But I'm still waiting for the second coming
Of Ophelia
Come back home
[Instrumental outro]
