The Five Ghosts

歌詞

When I was a little girl the world was small to me All the light in my life filtered softly through the trees The shadows in the photographs Five ghosts who followed me I was only truly frightened once They called my name and said they wanted me Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die Oh, for one sweet second without the eye When I grew in age and fame and traveled through the world All the rives of the city like flags of blue unfurled Me pressed against the railing Me taken to a room Me breaking in the morning Dark with a sense of coming doom Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die Oh, for one sweet second without the eye Now I have grown old and all my grace and beauty gone Five ghosts surround my garden, I don't tell them to move on I walk deeper into shade now That dappled light again I see you standing at the gate My one and only friend Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die Oh, for one sweet second without the eye
