Manderley was a dream of
|
Full moon and empty sky
|
Lost lands and sunken cities
|
Wave of silk from a perfect smile
|
|
Though the gates are held fast
|
Once again you're inside
|
There the key to the past
|
Is buried by her side
|
Rebecca
|
|
Shattered Cupid stowed away
|
You behaved like a parlour maid
|
Tongue tied newly wed bride
|
Back in all your yesterdays
|
|
Dressed to kill at the ball
|
Eager to show what you wear
|
Never to excel
|
In a house that she still shares
|
Rebecca
|
|
Day by day she's your reality
|
Day by day a stronger personality
|
|
If by fire she could reclaim
|
The very walls that scream her name
|
Ashes aglow on the breeze above
|
Her house of plenty but not of love
|
|
Drowning just as in life
|
The manicured lawns are gone
|
Fleeting as her kiss
|
Lonely as her song
|
Rebecca
