Ophelia (Love Songs Version / Remastered 2025)

That token drag on your cigarette,

That well-known face in the fire,

It could be someone you can't forget,

Someone you've learnt to admire.

And it's strange

How the feeling goes;

All change -

Down the river Ophelia goes.

You're treading water, the price is steep,

You say you'll cope with it all;

You've made some promises you can't keep,

You throw yourself against the wall,

You throw yourself against the wall.

And it's strange...

You heard a noise in the firegrate,

You look to see who goes there -

It's just the stranger, he's come too late

And even he's unprepared

To find the cupboard so bare

And it's strange...

Down the river Ophelia goes.
