Ophelia (single) (2023). Lyrics by Robbie Robertson

​

Boards on the window
Mail by the door
What would anybody leave so quickly for?
Ophelia
Hmm, where have you gone?

​

The old neighborhood
Just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia
Hmm, tell me, what went wrong

​

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

​

They got your number
Scared and running
But I'm still waiting for the second coming
Of Ophelia
Hmm hm come back home
Hmm hmm
