I hope this gets through to you, hope it sends shivers down your spine
I'm not looking for an answer, I just want you to be mine
And I want our hands to touch again like there's nothing on our minds
Except being here together with our fingers intertwined
And your beauty still astounds me, I want it all for myself
But it's yours for distribution and you've given it to someone else
And I know my heart gets in the way so I'll put it up on the shelf
And if you don't want me here then I will look for somewhere else
And you
Were the ruin of me
And your voice
Brings me down to my knees
But you
Well you still elude me
Cuz your ghost
Is lost out at sea
When the leaves turn pretty colours I know it's time to expect death
Like relationships all torn and tattered holding on to their last breath
Like you, my dear, under the sea, when I find you I'll confess
That no matter where you go I'll never love you any less
And I never planned on chasing your ghost
But here I am
Well your feelings have retired but they've got no pension plan
So they'll just waste away forgotten until they crumble into sand
And my tears are flowing freely but I don't think you'd understand
Cuz you're happy with your new life in the arms of another man
And if I had only one wish it'd be for you to love me still
Cuz the thought of you with him forever only makes me feel ill
And I don't want to know the answers, I don't want to know the truth
I just want you here beside me, I just want to be with you
And you
Were the ruin of me
And your voice
Still brings me down to my knees
But you
Well you still elude me
Cuz your ghost
Is lost out at sea
