Haunted

In my thoughts did you call

how you sounded so very near.

I left my girl by the stall

why did she disappear.

 

    That soft voice haunted my soul

my feelings you’d known.

Lonely and on the dole

our love had been sown.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my heart longed for you.

 

    Did she want to be free

searching for her face.

Had she called out to me

this city’s a vast place.

 

    I walked down dark streets

seeing many poor ones.

Who had found total defeat

whose daughters and sons.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my hearts longed for you.

 

    Each shadow showed her face

terror filled my mind.

There seemed to be no trace.

you were a special kind.

 

    I came back to the stall

so near to the river.

You were there on the wall

we both started to shiver.

 

    We promised to stay near

mind and body together.

Both of us filled with fear

our hands joined forever.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my heart longed for you.
