The Dead of Mary-Lou

[Verse] Mary-Lou wore shadows Not a crown A whisper in the woods No one around Her laugh was a ghost Her touch like frost In the dead of Mary-Lou All hope was lost [Chorus] The dead of Mary-Lou It lingers still A house on the hill A cold wind's will She never left She never knew The dead of Mary-Lou [Verse 2] The clock struck twelve Her name was said The mirror cracked Her eyes burned red Her footsteps fell like falling rain The dead of Mary-Lou It calls again [Bridge] She hums a tune The same each night A lullaby for lost delight She’s here She’s there She’s in the air The dead of Mary-Lou Beware [Chorus] The dead of Mary-Lou It lingers still A house on the hill A cold wind's will She never left She never knew The dead of Mary-Lou [Outro] Mary-Lou Her name’s a shroud A song too soft A scream too loud The dead of Mary-Lou It’s all she knew And now she’s calling out to you
