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
