Lyrics Vanish - Alex Edwards

down by the river two footprints in the leaves
where she vanished, 'sbeen
checking the dusk for ghosts again who've seen his candlelight
like all who pass him by...
well if you wanted to know

cos I remember you vanished
you vanished into dust
and after ten days, he came upon a cave wherein she lay
"oh my beloved, i've come to rescue thee"
she replied slowly
"well if you wanted to know
yeah I always felt your love my darling
but did you mean to send, my body away again

and then the witch came cackling down
and with these words
she sealed him there
"do you remember, you wanted?
you wanted to be loved
but in her place now, you're banished
banished with the dust"
cos I remember you wanted
you wanted to be loved
though in your place now, I'm banished
it's better that I should, too
for how I doomed my love to
as then the witch began to...
