STING - Ghost Story lyrics

rate me

Words and music by sting<br><br>I watch the western sky<br>The sun is sinking<br>The geese are flying south<br>It sets me thinking<br><br>I did not miss you much<br>I did not suffer<br>What did not kill me<br>Just made me tougher<br><br>I feel the winter come<br>His icy sinews<br>Now in the fire light<br>The case continues<br><br>Another night in court<br>The same old trial<br>The same old questions asked<br>The same denial<br><br>The shadows closely run<br>Like jury members<br>I look for answers in<br>The fire's embers<br><br>Why was I missing then<br>That whole december<br>I give my usual line:<br>I don't remember<br><br>Another winter comes<br>His icy fingers creep<br>Into these bones of mine<br>These memories never sleep<br><br>And all these differences<br>A cloak I borrow<br>We kept our distances<br>Why should it follow I must have loved you<br><br>What is the force that binds the stars<br>I wore this mask to hide my scars<br>What is the power that pulls the tide<br>I never could find a place to hide<br><br>What moves the earth around the sun<br>What could I do but run and run and run<br>Afraid to love, afraid to fail<br>A mast without a sail<br><br>The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking<br>Another day begins and now I'm thinking<br>That this indifference was my invention<br>When everything I did sought your attention<br><br>You were my compass star<br>You were my measure<br>You were a pirate's map<br>A buried treasure<br><br>If this was all correct<br>The last thing I'd expect<br>The prosecution rests<br>It's time that I confess: I must have loved you
