Morella was a friend of mine
|
I never loved her, but we married
|
She made me happy in a way I can't explain
|
A kind of mystic happiness
|
|
Talking of philosophy we spent many hours
|
May awareness of yourself still survive to death?
|
I was very happy then, listenin' to her
|
Till a day, a fatal day, joy was turned to hate!
|
|
Hating my Morella I wished her to die
|
Illness fell upon her, she began to fade
|
She told me to listen, "I've something to tell:
|
Who you never loved in life, you will love in death"
|
|
[chorus]
|
"This is the day of days, the day to live and die, for all the daughters of death and sky
|
Tonight we're gonna die, but I will live again
|
The time of pain for you has began"
|
|
Growin' up day by day, pretty little girl
|
Our daughter I did love more than you can now
|
So resembling to her mother, too wise for a child
|
I never gave a name to her, until she was ten
|
I had to baptize her, we went to the church
|
And the priest he asked me the name of the girl
|
Still I don't know why "Morella" did I say
|
Screaming "Here I am!" my little daughter died
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
And when I went to our family's tomb to bury the second Morella, I didn't find any sign of the
|
first. And I began to laugh... and laugh... and laugh...
