Asphodels

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, through the wood I walked And barely made my way Before I heard the muffled words That led me so astray There I lay down and died And set my spirit free Well, to dive for pearls in the underworld Was all was left for me [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] So through the wood I walked And left this world behind I went down that track and could not look back For fear of what I'd find When my soul arrived It looked just like they said With the ringing bells and the asphodels In the valley of the dead [Instrumental Break] [Outro] What for my love now And what for me, do tell Well, all memory fades in the everglades And I guess that's just as well
