From the recording When The World Leaves You Behind
Lyrics
Her Hair Turned Gray
They took her to the murder house on a dare
They told about a family that once lived there
Until the horrid night while they were unaware
Someone came and killed them all then disappeared
The house had stayed abandoned after all these years
Rumors about the things in there have been declared
Tonight the girl is gonna prove that she’s not scared
And with a laugh she kicked the gate while everybody stared
This is what we’ve heard and this is what they say:
Her hair turned gray, the very next day!!!
She stepped into the dusty hall and softly shut the door
A coldness crept inside her spine that wasn’t there before
Walking up the stairs with a compulsion to explore
She went into the bedroom with the stain that’s on the floor
Standing in the middle took a picture of her score
She heard a noise that made her jump and whispered like a roar
She turned her head to see a face a woman filled with scorn
She ran out screaming from the house returning nevermore
This is what we’ve heard and this is what they say:
Her hair turned gray, the very next day!!!
Some things that you see
Can never be unseen
