Probably Jimmy Webb’s creepiest song, originally penned for Richard Harris’s second LP. Beyond Webb’s typically oblique and poetic imagery seems to be a rather chilling tale told from a man who has murdered his “child lover” and sits watching her body decay into nothingness. Art Garfunkel’s version is the definitive one, eerily sparse with his angelic voice making the lyrics all the more haunting.
