The Band - Ophelia

This was the first song by the band I heard that really made me appreciate them. This version is the version I heard, and its from their final concert entitled "The Last Waltz" which I highly, highly recommend. I just bought it today and finally got to see the whole thing. It was filmed by Martin Scorsese and features a crazy amount of special guests. If I had a time machine, I definitely would go to/have been at this concert. You can't help but smile seeing how much fun they are having playing music together, which I truly think is what music should be about. Those crazy Canadians.

Boards on the window
Mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for
Ophelia?
Where have you gone?

The old neighborhood 
Just ain't the same
Nobody knows just 
What became of
Ophelia?
Tell me what went wrong? 

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law? 
Honey, you know
I'd die for you

Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like Ophelia
Please darken my door.

Was it somethin' that somebody said? 
Honey, you know we broke the rule
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey you know 
I'd die for you


they got your number
scared and runnin'
but I'm still waitin' for
the second coming
of Ophelia
come back home
