Bat For Lashes - The Haunted Man lyrics

rate me

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 sing a note

And the silver felt she cried, never forget had gone and died

And their babes have clumb to her had all let go

I wish she touched my skin

An old gentle skin

Said as a warning

I wish she touched my skin

Where once we kissed a man

That man was forced demand

I have to tell you dear

Death has me on my breezes

My dear, she touched my skin

And all she did she touched my skin

Where once we kissed a man

That man was forced demand

Still I’m holding out my hand

Started my heart on demand

He’s the ghost that haunt me too

And it’s me and you, all about us

Still I’m holding out my hand

Started my heart on demand

He’s the ghost that haunt me too

And it’s me and you, all about us
