you were gone before i reached you

with your green eyes still open and beautiful

and i knelt down to meet you

and my blue eyes they opened with the rain that came down on us

 

and i, oh I swear to you, there was nothing i could do

oh you’d bled my love, and far too much

 

your ghost, it shakes its chains at me

it will not let me sleep, it’s memorized me

what will the damage be, will you go easy on me

 

i saw the man you told me not to call

if ever you should go the way you did that night

but don’t be angry love that i would fall

there was a burning desperation behind my eyes to make it right

 

and i, oh i swear to you, there was nothing i could do

oh you’d bled my love, and far too much

 

your ghost, it shakes its chains at me

it will not let me sleep, it’s memorized me

what will the damage be, will you go easy on me
