letra de sweet ophelia - barry mann
[verse]
she turned down the captain
when he came around to score
she said her heart was promised to
a midshipman from baltimore
he offered her his mansion
he offered her his gold
but she slipped away to a lonely place
with no man’s hand to hold
[chorus]
still, sweet ophelia, i feel your love reach out
across the miles of ocean, there can be no doubt
[verse]
the lawyer’s means were modest
he brought her danish wine
and an hеirloom necklace of cultured pеarls
from down his family line
but to all of his advances
her heart was cold as stone
she said, “sir, before i accept your gifts
i’ll walk these bowery streets alone”
[chorus]
still, sweet ophelia, i feel your love reach out
across the miles of ocean, there can be no doubt
[solo]
[verse]
my ship was late arriving
four months overdue
me with my friend who wears six stripes
i was wearing my dress blues
i ran up six flights of stairs
singing a navy song
i called her name, and the neighbors cried ophelia had passed on
[chorus]
still, sweet ophelia, i feel your love reach out
across the miles of ocean, there can be no doubt
[verse]
some say she died of fever
up in her attic rooms
some tell me that she hung herself
in a cell down in the tombs
i heard she sealed the windows
and never lit the stove
but i’d like to dream she drowned herself
on the beach out around glen cove
[chorus]
still, sweet ophelia, i feel your love reach out
across the miles of ocean, there can be no doubt
