about
This is a song for Clara Rathbone, who was murdered by her husband Henry when he flashed back to the darkest night of their life together - the night they went to Ford's Theater with President Lincoln and his wife.
lyrics
The night air is chill
I'm holding my breath and the carriage is still
This white dress is clean
But it will bear the worst of the world that I've seen
The theater is dark
I catch a glimpse of his laughter before all falls apart
The first shot; a spark
The bodies fall fast and the panic is sharp
I'm holding my breath
He's clutching his heart
The bloodstains spread fast
And my world falls apart
I've heard he's having dreams
How many nights will we be plagued by these?
I've heard he's having dreams
We move to new shores
I put the past in a closet, and I shut the door
But his madness grows stronger
As he loses his mind, oh, I fear for the worst
I hear footsteps coming
The children know nothing
And when he draws the gun
Oh, my world falls apart
Burn this dress
Tear downs this wall
But don't think you can stop the laughter
Ringing out from down this hall
Burn this dress
Tear down this wall
But you can't chase away the memory of me
Within these walls
You won't find our bodies under cold stones
We don't lie there
You won't find our bodies under...
Burn this dress
Tear downs this wall
But don't think you can stop the laughter
Ringing up and down these halls
Burn this dress
Tear down this wall
But you can't chase away the memory of me
Within these walls
Not at all
You won't find our bodies under cold stones
We don't lie there
You won't find our bodies, oh no
