lyrics

Lock Keeper's Daughter

I took up with a weird ghost
Who walked in the shadow, spread seeds in the meadow
And haunted the water, my memory falters
She spread sadness and rumours, handwritten notes of the fury consuming her
Bargained and bought her, I've been here before her

I got carried away, there is nothing to say,
She is long gone and I still remain,
If I wait, if I wait she will come back again
Oh horror, oh horror
She was the lock keeper's daughter

Here I walk and I walk,
From deep in the town to the deep where I drown
And I call out to her though no one is there

I took over her post
By the delicate increments smaller than salt crystals
She threw me over and I fell before her.
