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 fish" 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
Ask me to hold you
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
Where once we kissed and ran
Ask me to tell you
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 call 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 call me too
But it's me and you
I can't run
