You're Not There

from On the Wing by Zombies of the Stratosphere

lyrics

Maybe I was dreaming when I passed outside your door
Four and twenty blackbirds singing for me nevermore
Lost you in the lamplight, I was…
You’re not there
The queen is in her counting room, she’s counting up her teeth
The king is in his drunken ship, he’s drifting round his feet
Baby spilled the bottle so they tied him to the chair
You’re not there
Drowning in the river, there were church bells in my ear
Heard the choir singing, yes I heard them loud and clear
The patron saint of loneliness was hanging in the air
You’re not there
