Angeline

There's a name on the wall But you can't make it out There's a noise in the hall But there's no one about So you sneak out of bed Hoping you'll catch Angeline You're eyes are growing dark As you fold out your heart, Angeline There's a crack in the window Some snow on the floor There's a wind out there howling But you want to make sure As you light up a candle She knocks on your door, Angeline Your face is growing pale As you spell out her name, Angeline Angeline, you've got nothing to fear It's only me, you're in for a treat Angeline, I wish you'd see The other me, the one you're about to release You've heard all about her But you haven't seen her face When she enters your room You're no longer afraid 'Cause you know that if you'll die You'll die with a smile, Angeline So you just stare for a while When closing your eyes, you believe Refrain Her hair is untidy But her eyes they look mild She's got a rope hanging around her It was made for a child As she unfolds her gown You see her shoulders, they're burnt from the sun You stretch out your hand, Just to see if you can, but then she's gone Refrain
