To a Persistent Phantom

I buried you deeper last night You with your tears And your tangled hair You with your lips That kissed so fair I buried you deeper last night.

I buried you deeper last night With fuller breasts And stronger arms With softer lips And newer charms I buried you deeper last night.

Deeper ...... aye, deeper And again tonight Till that gay spirit That once was you Will tear its soul In climbing through ... Deeper ...... aye, deeper I buried you deeper last night.
