The Gift Lyrics by Persephone

Home

0

The first one was a young girl
Standing near the house
Gazing at the ashes
All went up in smoke
There was something about her
But no-one seemed to see
Her pale and fearful eyes
The way they stared at me
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see;
The dead line up in front of me
The second was an old man
Lying stiff on his bed
He looked so peaceful
But the doctor shook his head
As he blew out the candles
There was silence all around
While I saw the old man rising
From his bed without a sound
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see;
The dead line up in front of me
Last night I awoke
You were standing by my side
Motionless and frozen
With eyes open wide
Your lips were slowly moving
But they didn't make a sound
Like mine three days ago
When they put you in the ground
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see
This gift, this strange gift
It made me see;
The dead line up in front of me
I can see the dead
I can see the dead
