Ophelia

Music: Grace McDunnough
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove & Grace McDunnough

Today
I threw my fist into the wind
When I couldn’t find you
I didn’t know what else to do
So Then
I threw a scream into the sky
Not sure why
Just didn’t know what else to try
Until
I threw my soul into this song
It’s what I’ve got
When it all goes wrong

Oh, Ophelia
I am staring at the stars
And I am wondering just where you are
And where we go
I just don’t know
Oh, Ophelia
I am reaching in the dark
And I am wondering just what to think
We’re always on the brink
And then we sink

Today
I threw my heart into the fire
Hoping the heat
Would lift me higher
And then
I threw my pain into a glass
Hoping this time
The past would stay the past
Until
I threw my love into the sun
And let it burn
We never got our turn

Oh, Ophelia
I am staring at the stars
And I am wondering just where you are
And where we go
I just don’t know
Oh, Ophelia
I am reaching in the dark
And I am wondering just what to think
We’re always on the brink
And then we sink

Sometimes at night I walk right into the sea
Command the waves to bring your soul back to me
And then you are
There you are
Dancing light inside this old guitar

Oh, Ophelia
I am drowning in the stars
And I am wondering just where you are
And where we go
I just don’t know
Oh, Ophelia
I am drowning in the dark
And I am wondering just what to think
On the brink
Barely holding on
And then I sink
I sink

Today
I threw my fist into the wind
When I couldn’t find you
I didn’t know what else to do
