Rebecca

Manderley was a dream of

Full moon and empty sky

Lost lands and sunken cities

Wave of silk from a perfect smile

Though the gates are held fast

Once again you're inside

There the key to the past

Is buried by her side

Rebecca

Shattered Cupid stowed away

You behaved like a parlour maid

Tongue tied newly wed bride

Back in all your yesterdays

Dressed to kill at the ball

Eager to show what you wear

Never to excel

In a house that she still shares

Rebecca

Day by day she's your reality

Day by day a stronger personality

If by fire she could reclaim

The very walls that scream her name

Ashes aglow on the breeze above

Her house of plenty but not of love

Drowning just as in life

The manicured lawns are gone

Fleeting as her kiss

Lonely as her song

Rebecca
