Louise - Syd Matters

Louise went swimming in a river

In the morning

She brought a basket full of apples

And a tangerine

But she couldn’t find a friend

She wanted to bring

When she entered the water

With a trembling voice

She wondered why she chose to turn a living man

Into a ghost

But she couldn’t blame anyone

For having the choice

Louise, do not cry, you did the right thing

And I’ll come back sometimes

With the wind blowing high, a moon of tangerine

Hanging from the sky

I’ll be the shadow of the memory

Falling from your eye

There are flowers in bloom around the apple tree

That I love the most

But the land of this country has no mercy

For it’s shadows

Well, I cannot blame anyone

For being a ghost
