The Gift |
| The first one was a young girl |
| Standing near the house |
| Gazing at the ashes |
| All went up in smoke |
| There was something about her |
| But no-one seemed to see |
| Her pale and fearful eyes |
| The way they stared at me |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see; |
| The dead line up in front of me |
| The second was an old man |
| Lying stiff on his bed |
| He looked so peaceful |
| But the doctor shook his head |
| As he blew out the candles |
| There was silence all around |
| While I saw the old man rising |
| From his bed without a sound |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see; |
| The dead line up in front of me |
| Last night I awoke |
| You were standing by my side |
| Motionless and frozen |
| With eyes open wide |
| Your lips were slowly moving |
| But they didn’t make a sound |
| Like mine three days ago |
| When they put you in the ground |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see |
| This gift, this strange gift |
| It made me see; |
| The dead line up in front of me |
| I can see the dead |
| I can see the dead |
