Lyrics
I couldn't sleep last night 'Cos I tried to forget you In the suffocated air I resolved to let you go Twisted all our dreams Till you became the nightmare Close it off inside Or else the hurt is gonna rise I couldn't sleep last night 'Cos 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 all the babes that clung to her Had all let go [Chant] 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 (ask me to hold you, I...) Death has become my breathing (far away gone and I...) My dear, she touched my skin (ask me to tell you, I...) And oh, she did, she touched my skin (holding the ghost of a man, I...) Where once we kissed and ran (ask me to tell you, I...) This madness haunted the man (holding the ghost of a 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...
