Haunt Me

You’re like a hurricane in a paper room
A massive avalanche with a sweet perfume
Every time I’m washed of you
You return to me by the light of the moon, and you haunt me
And you tempt me with your empty promises
And you burn me like a hell furnace
So I dream of a breathless kiss
If only I could find the perfect alibis, and you haunt me
Weeks pass and days last a dozen lives
Waiting for that baneful hour to arrive
Till one morning minus twenty five
I let you take the icy steps. say goodbye
One would think to have a drink to celebrate
The gift delivered by the clever hand of fate
But before the bourbon reached my brain
Your voice was in my head saying think again
And you haunt me, just to say that you want me
Yeah you haunt me, the way you did when you were alive
Still I have you here
But not by my request
Crying out and shouting from beyond the crest
My only peace is that final rest
So I’ll take the icy steps
And you haunt me, just to say that you want me
Yeah you haunt me, the way you did when you were alive
