lyrics

Between the rivers a spit in the delta
I found a house there in shambles and fragments
People had told me a woman once lived there
She died alone with nobody to mourn

So on a grey morning I hiked through the marshes
Peeked in the window cracked open the door
A ghost at the table was crying alone
She beckoned me in with the curl of her finger

I'm sorry that you're lonely I am lonely too
If I had that kind of power I would love to stay here with you
But if I may inquire I really must know
I really don't want to share your fate which way should I go?

Well lo and behold we were there in the flesh
A raven haired maiden with beautiful skin
But I was a ghost and she stared right on through me
At the repulsive walls that now had replaced me

Child may I ask you to do a favor for me
Build a garden around this house and fill it's beauty
But I must warn you let this building rot
It will collapse upon your body all your work will be for naught
