Oh tender child
Be patient with me
A fated ghost
In a mystery
Ages ago
She told me goodbye
Saying nothing was true
That it all was a lie
Angry and hurt
I behaved like a fool
Every love had her face
And I treated them cruel
But tender child
There was no one to blame
The emptiness here
Never did have a name
Haunting love, always haunting love....
The truth is I'm lost
And out of control
I surrendered my heart
And it buried my soul
Now I see in your eyes
Such a perfect light
An endless sun
To my starless night
Girl hold me close
Let me breathe in your sigh
As your beating heart
Teaches mine to fly
Stay with me child
You're all that I've known
Of selfless love
In this world of stone
Haunting love, always haunting love....
