IN THE TIME YOU SEE ME OPHELIA                              3/30/20    
Words and Music by Brian Peterson

Those old wagon wheels have been broken – I guess  I’m gonna have to walk
Some mumbling make-believe has been spoken – don’t make no sense to talk
There’s a pair of feet I thought I could see in the shadow of that tapestry
In the time you see me Ophelia – I will fall from the family tree

I can’t believe who I saw at the fortress -  to pour a story into my ear
I shout out loud how you come in a cloud  - now why don’t you get out of here
In another preview what I already knew   - someone told me I mustn’t delay
In the time you see me Ophelia  -  I’ll be chasing those demons away

Now the wildflowers bloom by the willow- you are gathering them for your hair
The forget-me-not, say the daisies, just one more over there
Soon you’re humming that silly familiar tune  -  about the wind and the rain
In the time you see me Ophelia  -  that’s my time for going insane

Oh, the rosemary grows by the river  - where the lavender rapids roll by
On a high rocky shore you’re gonna stumble – but nobody hears you cry
In some dream I would just be another old fool dreaming you’d be my wife
In the time you see me Ophelia – that stream will claim your life

Those old wagon wheels have been broken – guess I’m gonna  have to walk
Some mumbling make-believe has been spoken – don’t make no sense to talk
I’ve been seeing faces, I’m hearing the voices  - oh, I wish they all could be still
In the time you see me Ophelia  -  I will have a little time to kill
