Lucy Schwartz Graveyard Lyrics

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
