"Pretty Polly's Revenge" - based on the murder ballad "Pretty Polly" 

Pretty Polly is a classic folk ballad about a lady who falls for the wrong man and gets murdered. 

I've always been intrigued by folklore where a ghostly woman in a white dress appears ominously. I combined the stories to write this narrative/song where the ghost in white is Polly, seeking revenge on the man who betrayed her. 

LYRICS:
The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

You’ll never know
What you don’t see
What I can I show
Who will I be

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

And I met you there at midnight
Holding everything I owned
While the moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

We made a pact
You gave your vow
Some perfect act
Just take a bow

My eyes were full of hope
And yours were full of sin
But I didn’t see the rope
And I can’t recall the end

I was standing in the starlight
Holding everything I owned
The moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was like an abscess
Too inclined to mean me harm

You remember dear
Every tale you told
When all the world was green

It is quiet here
Where the earth is cold
No one could hear me scream

But you carried me
Through the field of gold
That shimmered like a dream

And you buried me
With the hate you hold
Where all the world is green

The open sky
This night in June
You have returned
Beneath the moon

What I can I show
Who do you see
And will you know
That it is me

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

I am buried in my grey gown
I will wait for all of time
Till the wickedness you found
Will call you back and make you mine

What I can I know
Who will I be
You down below
Me finally free

The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

OTHER NOTES:
This song is based on "Pretty Polly," a murder ballad style folk song. This is kind of a sequel where Polly seeks her revenge.

The "all the world is green line" is reference to the Tom Waits song "all the world is green" where the singer begs their lover to remember the good old days.  The face forgives the mirror, but Polly forgives nothing.

Golden Hour

Fading into Blue

lyrics:
You wanna go
You wanna fight
Is that really why you call me
In the middle of the night

You want a show
I’ll take a bite
We could break another wall
But I could never make it right

I offer your pleasure
You give me pain
This hate that we treasure
Love leaves a stain

You were enough for me
They didn’t need to know
It didn’t have to be
Damn what lies below

A pretty fantasy
Our little puppet show
It didn’t have to be
I would have let you go

Just take it back
Forget the lies
But I know you never want me
When you look me in the eye

There was a crack
A compromise
You wanna tell me why you taunt me
And you never say good bye

I offer you weakness
You hold me tight
My darling we seek this
You love the night

It was enough for me
You didn’t have to know
It didn’t have to be
Damn what lies below

A pretty fantasy
Your little puppet show
It didn’t have to be
I would have let you go

Green is the grass
Where all True Love will lie
This too may pass
But I will never say goodbye

Why should I ask
I know the hero always dies
Raise up your glass
To every pitiful disguise

I’ve had enough
Give me a break
When I know the night you hated
Was a dream you couldn’t shake

It was a bluff
We were awake
And I know you hesitated
But it wasn’t a mistake

The time that you held me
I was afraid
Why didn’t you tell me
I would have stayed

You were enough for me
But you will never know
I should have let it be
Damn what lies below

And you will never see
What I could never show
You were enough for me
I should have let you know
