I couldn’t sleep last night cause I tried to forget you
In the suffocated air I resolved to let you go
Twisted all our dreams til you became the nightmare
Close it off inside or else the hurt is gonna rise

I couldn't sleep last night cause I tried to forget you
Heard the old man and the sea singing low
And the silver fir she cried, never forget had gone and died
And the babes that clung to her had all let go

My dear, she touched my skin
And, oh, did the skin
Set a burning
My dear, she touched my skin
Where once we kissed and ran
That memory scorched the man
I have to tell you, dear
Death has become my breathing
My dear, she touched my skin
And oh she did, she touched my skin
Where once we kissed and ran
This madness haunted the man

Still, I'm holding out my hand
Standing by my haunted man
Yes, your ghosts have got me too
But it's me and you, I can't run

Still, I'm holding out my hand
Standing by my haunted man
Yes, your ghosts have got me too
But it's me and you, I can't run
