Harbinger

[Verse 1]
Tell me how the story will unfold
I know you see everything
Tell me all about the torch and scroll
I know you know everything
[Pre-Chorus]
So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?
Why, why?
[Chorus]
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear lonely soul
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear, my, my
[Verse 2]
Tell me all about your history
Tell me all about your pains
Try to contact all your lost loved ones
Try to speak to them through me
[Pre-Chorus]
So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?
Why, why?
[Chorus]
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear lonely soul
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear, my, my
[Post-Chorus]
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
[Verse 3]
You're so lonely in my body
I can sympathize your pain
But this secret is too much for me to hold
No, no one will believe
[Pre-Chorus]
So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?
Why, why?
[Chorus]
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear lonely soul
My dear, my dear Gertrude
My dear, my, my
