Don’t Want Me

Early in the mornin', sunlight through the curtain –
Can't drag this dead body to the window,
Or I will surely burn;
Got to wait for that evenin' sun to head on down.
Tell me, how do I face the day
If you don't want me hangin' 'round?

Need some kind of signal, need some kind of sign,
Need some magic amulet to get these
Shadows back in line;
Got to make my way out of this deep dark wood and see that princess crowned.
Tell me, how do I find my way
If you don't want me hangin' 'round?

Diedre of the Sorrows was fairer than any other
Diedre had the loyalty of
Seven brothers,
And she wept bitter tears over their graves until those sorrows drowned.
Tell me, how do I dry these tears
If you don't want me hangin' 'round?

You don't want me in the nighttime, don't want me in the dawn;
You won't want me when you turn around to find me,
And find that I am gone.
This swan is gonna spread her wings and fly without a sound.
Tell me, why should I break my heart
If you don't want me hangin' 'round?

If you don't want me, If you don't want me
I won't be hangin' 'round.
