about

A song about a live sick, down and out musician in Brooklyn.

lyrics

I know that asking you not to forget me
Is a tall order
So all I'm dreaming of
Is to be the ghost you're dreaming of
When the curtain falls

Your oyster is a stage
On which I've played my part
And many times I've read the act
Of your slowly closing heart

We shared a scene in Brooklyn
I was artful with your lines
Hidden away from the Harvest moon
That would smile upon our time.

I know that asking you not to forget me
Is a tall order
So all I'm dreaming of
Is to be the ghost you're dreaming of
When the curtain fall.

Oh this stage has been your oyster
Where underneath I've drawn the bow
And though you've paid dues to the orchestra.
Your love I'll never know.

But sing, sing,
Sing the words that tells me to linger
Drop the tear that holds me forever
The laughter that lures me to the brook
Oh Ophelia

I know that asking you not to forget me
Is a tall order
So all I'm dreaming of
Is to be the ghost youre dreaming of
When the curtain fall.

But sing, sing,
Sing the song that tells me to linger
Drop the tear that holds me forever
The laughter that lures me to the brook
Oh Ophelia

I know that asking you not to forget me
Is a tall order
So all I'm dreaming of
Is to be the ghost youre dreaming of
When the curtain fall.
