lyrics so far - first draft - unedited and not complete -

GHOSTS DON’T CRY

VOLVER

You thought that I was dead

But underneath the bed, I hide.

Laying flowers on my grave

The east wind blows the years away

So unkind

Im so sorry that I lied,

I had no choice, I had to hide

And leave the ashes far behind me.

The other lovers I forgave

I always looked another way

And didn’t see the sin before me

Behind these shuttered windows

Ev’ry day I live In purgatory/endless guilt

For being blind to such a crime,

Till you embrace me,

Ev’ry day I’ll die

But now I hope you’ll understand

The bloody knife still in your hand

Your husband in the freezer

The devil burning in his bed

He didn’t wake till he was dead

After all he could to please her

VOICE OVER IN SPANISH –

“I NEED YOU MUM

I DON’T KNOW HOW IVE LIVED ALL THESE YEARS WITHOUT YOU

DON’T SAY THAT

I’LL START TO CRY

AND GHOSTS DON’T CRY”

I could feel how you despised

I saw the hatred in your eyes

But  Couldn’t hear the silence

I understand you had to leave

And take the secret far from me,

Your sister child inside you.

Behind this door I’ll be

With you across the street from me,

We’ll hide.

Ev’ry kiss, a minute made

From fourteen years of empty space inside.

So the sinners turn to dust,

The victims of a deadly lust

?
