lyrics

Rosemary for remembrance

He took you down to the river one day
Showed you all the pretty things.
He bewitched you with all the pleasure
He said life could bring.
He painted your canvas, he read your poems, more,
He lay you down and he kissed you by the shore.
He charmed your mother, he confused your brother
He said he’d keep you sane.
But it didn’t occur to listen as you stood over the water that day.

Ophelia what were you thinking, was it the madness, why did you go?
Was it a statement, was it a question, did he even know?

There were deadly flowers in your hand
Which you thrust at the people at court
But there was a sorrow, a sympathy in their eyes, nothing more
When the men in white coats came to take you, I think you realised
And when they classed you as ‘type 2 whatever’
I think you smiled

Ophelia what were you thinking, why do it for a man?
Did you think he would notice, did you even think he’d understand?

Goodnight sweet ladies, there’s pansies for thought, pray you love remember
There’s fennel, there’s columbine, there’s rue for you and some for me
We may call it the herb of grace on Sunday, there’s a daisy
I would give you some violets but they withered all when my father died.

Ophelia, cry no more
There’s women here still remember what you died for
It was the man, it was the madness, it was everything and all
And you smiled as you disappeared into the river
Sometimes we all want to fall
