Tick tick tock
The universe stops
Delicate fragrance
Permeates our despair
They can’t find a trace
Of poor Virginia
Iily white hands
Curious face
Waltzed through walls
To a shadowy place
Which no one dares
To name at all
Don’t be
dismayed (Papa)
Don’t be
distraught
Chorus
Dissolve your fear
Like darkling night
In the palm of a child
She will return
Refracted sunlight
Antique shadow
Lacing dances
Through the
pane
Tracing glimpses
Of dank
rain
Don’t be
distraught (Papa)
Don’t be
dismayed
I have my
jewels
The ghost
is dead
Almond blossoms
Light and
tender
Line the
coffin
Of my youth
Brilliant the
light
O thousand
proofs
Pink as surrender
Pure and
white
God may have
mercy
Though he murdered
his wife
Ashes and sadness
Take this
ghost’s life
May god
forgive
His lonely
skeleton
Before the clock
mourns
To strike
his pardon
Almond blossoms
unlock doors
In midnight’s secret garden
Chorus
Defrost your fear
Like darkling night
In the palm of a child
She will return
Refracted sunlight
Antique shadow
Lacing dances
Through the
pane
Tracing glances
Of dappled rain.
