Graveyard - Lucy Schwartz

Don’t wait up

I’ll be walking through the graveyard

And I’m hardly alive

If I try to survive with just a paper heart

And you know you’re not there

When the wind in your hair goes right through you

And you know that you’re gone

When the sound of a song cannot soothe you

And it’s a difficult burden to bear

When you’re not quite there

Call my name

Maybe if I hear it I’ll remember

'Cause I’ve forgotten my past

I am only a mask, just a pretender

And you know you’re not there

When the wind in your hair goes right through you

And you know that you’re gone

When the sound of a song cannot soothe you

And it’s a difficult burden to bear

When you’re not quite there

Oh, we’re nothing but walking spirits

Only shadows, we’re only shadows

Screaming out but no one will hear us

Only shadows, we’re only shadows

And you know you’re not there

When the wind in your hair goes right through you

And you know that you’re gone

When the sound of a song cannot soothe you

And it’s a difficult burden to bear

When you’re not quite there
