So I was going through my old registers and found a few songs which I am going to include in further chapters as well. This one, Darling Ophelia, is Hamlet's last song for his beloved Ophelia. The characters belong to Shakespeare's play Hamlet and I have simply taken inspiration from it to write this song.
***
Verse 1:
You chose your death, my Darling Ophelia
With flowers in your hair, you floated down the river
And I could not save my Darling Ophelia
You were a fresh rose, fated and destined to wither
Verse 2:
Tragedy it is when in years to come
They will read of us and our ultimate fates
As one heinous act made many succumb
How one king's murder ruined five lives
Breakdown:
We were young lovers but ah so tragic
Even thinking of it all renders a heartache
Chorus:
If I could, I would flow down the river
Holding you in my arms, keeping you near
Until the water takes course and swallows us
Hoping we wouldd be together in the life hereafter
Verse 3:
Your beauty uncompared, my Darling Ophelia
Your smile used to light up my soul each day
And after you left, my Darling Ophelia
The world turned bleak with no brightening ray
Verse 4:
Tragedy it is when we will be mentioned
In books, in literature and in poetic verse
They will know what became of greed and fraud
And how innocent love perished in its curse
Breakdown:
We were young lovers but ah so tragic
Even thinking of it all renders a heartache
Chorus:
If I could, I would flow down the river
Holding you in my arms, keeping you near
Until the water takes course and swallows us
Hoping we would be together in the life hereafter
