Ghost

I fell in love with the picture
The day that you forgave her
And took my heart in vain
To give it all away

My whole life spent painting
A vision that's fading
I'd love to stand and take you in
My one fatal sin

To see the lights falling
You'll never know how much I need you
Darling
And I'll sleep with no-one in my arms
But with tears in my eyes
And you in my mind

Hands are pressed against the glass
Of a cool clear heart I can never have
Just a vision of the dying night
Reaching for a light

I'll keep painting on
Of the place I belong
But even the perfect picture of you
Couldn't pull me through.
