Dear Ophelia lyrics

Dear Ophelia, I love you dear,

I'm sorry that I haven't been here.

Dear Ophelia, you know I'm hurt,

It's been two whole months since he was laid in the dirt.

Dear Ophelia, I'm sorry that I lied,

I really do mean to make you my bride

When I get through this, I'll treat you well,

I'm sorry I'm making your life a hell.

Dear Ophelia, your father thinks I'm mad,

If truth be known, I think he'd be not glad,

If, my dear Ophelia, we were to wed,

And I took you to our wedding bed.

Dear Ophelia, I know that he is dead,

But what he told me last night lays on me like lead

In the orchard he laid sleeping, that's why he didn't hear

His brother crept up, and poured poison in his ear.

Dear Ophelia, I love you dear,

I'm sorry that I haven't been here.

Dear Ophelia, you know I'm hurt,

It's been two whole months since he was laid in the dirt.
