Black take 3: (Song based on Prologue)

The young man awoke - Startled
By the clear but commanding
Voice of his host

He looked up at the speaker
The wife of an in-keeper
Daughter of a farmer

But, she was a strong woman.
She had a hard face.

Chorus:
If you looked into her eyes
You could see a tinge of sorrow
If you stared into her smile you could glimpse
The many souls that once had crossed her path

And If you searched her face
You could feel,
She had more than once welcomed Death

“Hey! You listening!”
She asked him again,
“Why’re you here?”
He left no answer

“Fine,” she said
As she left the room.
“Diner’s on the table
If you want it.”

“Remind her of why
you’re staying here?”

Chorus

He shut the door on his way out
And she opened it one last time.

Where Death stood waiting.
He just smiled

It was her last time.
Her last time:
For this time she opened the door
To leave.

Chorus
