Jenny of Oldstones - Colm R. McGuinness

High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones who had loved her the most The ones who'd been gone for so very long She couldn't remember their names They spun her around on the damp old stone Spun away all her sorrow and pain And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave They danced through the day And into the night through the snow that swept through the hall From winter to summer and winter again 'Til the walls did crumble and fall And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones who had loved her the most

It's not that far away from L.A. to the Bay But I may as well be living on the moon When I heard you say you're not feeling it in that way It reinforced what I already knew The essence of life is suffering Lean into the light, but sparkle blue, ooh We have the essence of life at our fingertips When you say, "It ain't right" It burns when you leave, and it makes me wanna scream I want you back, ha-hallelu I want you back now that I can't have you I'll be okay chilling with Yin and Yang One brother's green, one brother's blue But neither are you, ooh The essence of life is ecstasy Lean into the light, but sometimes you've gotta scream I want you back, ha-hallelu I want you back now that I can't have you I want you back, ha-hallelu I want you back, hallelu I want you back (I want you, hallelu) I said I want you back (I want you, hallelu) I want you back (I want you, hallelu) I want you back (hallelu) I want you back Lean into the light, but sparkle blue, ooh
