Haunts Me

It was a long time ago but it still haunts me,
Well the good times are paying, but the bad times they come free,
Its been a good few years in the lonely lane, but still it lingers like a stain,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
Ive got a hole in my head and it just wont let me be,
But some days Im happy, and other days I just weep,
Well if I told you what Id done that day, I know youd never talk to me again,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
All the time Im hanging round, Im dodging all the danger,
I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger.
Now dont you worry yourself, cos your friend now lives in peace,
Even though you had to bury all the evidence in the sea,
They found his hair and his brains in an open bag, at the bottom where the wartime ship had sank,
It was a long time ago but it still haunts me.
All the time Im hanging round, Im dodging all the danger,
I dream of days when I was young, and I was just a stranger.
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me,
Haunts me
Haunts me, yah yah yah yah yah.

Haunts Of Ancient Peace

Beside the garden walls,
We walk in haunts of ancient peace.
At night we rest and go to sleep
In haunts of ancient peace.
The love and light we seek,
The words we do not need to speak,
Here in this wondrous way we keep
These haunts of ancient peace.
Let us go there again
When we need some relief
Oh, when I cant find my feet
When I need rest and sleep.
The sunday bells they chime
Around the countryside and towns
A song of harmony and rhyme
In haunts of ancient peace.
The holy grail we seek
On down by haunts of ancient peace.
We see the new jerusalem
In haunts of ancient peace.
Oh, when I cant find my feet
Oh, when I need some relief
One more time again.
You know I want to go there one more time again.
Be still in haunts of ancient peace.
(be still)

In Memory...

No one told me the way I should feel
You left an aching heart
Lost and lonely, the feeling goes on
You were the one friend I had
You gave me so much love
Now the tears remind me youre gone
It still haunts me theres a silence
Where you used to be
It still haunts me
Just an empty space in history
It still haunts me
But life must go on, on and on
Its still haunting me
Its still haunting me
Haunting me
Haunting me

Still I Dream Of It

Time for supper now
Day's been hard and I'm so tired
I feel like eating now
Smell the kitchen now
Hear the maid whistle a tune
My thoughts are fleeting now
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
Young and beautiful
Like a tree that's just been planted
I found life today
I made mistakes today
Will I ever learn the lessons
That all come my way
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
When I was younger
My mother told me
Jesus loved the world
And if that's true then
Why hasn't he helped me to find a girl
And find my world
'Til then I'm just a dreamer
I'm convinced of it
The hypnosis of our minds can take us far away
It's so easy now
You see someone up there high
And heaven's here to stay
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
I'll find my world
I'll find my world
Someday I'll find my world
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah

'Disco' La Passione

I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no-one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire has taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

Real Again?

The deal is on the table
Im happy, but scared
There is no reason why
It should be no sweat
And in the end
Ill find my way home
When I climb up the stairs
Will I be the same one?
Sick as always
This is turning insane
Im not wasting my time
This one goes overnight
Cool as always
I do things my way
Im not ruining my life
And this city haunts me again
If youre in, Im in
Is this real again? Yes!
Well keep our plan
The way it is
And if something turns bad
I hope God is next door
I am a good soldier
Ill fight until the end
You gotta be careful, full
Ive got a broken hand
Broke as always
I get dough where I can
I also have bad sides
When I walk through the night
Dead as always
Im reborn every day
I dont know whats inside
But this city haunts me again
If youre in, Im in
Is this real again? Yes!

I Know The Truth

(duet with elton john)
How have I come to this
How did I slip and fall
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all
This shouldve been my time
Its over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
People have faith in me
I think I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
Ill see the bad times through
This should have been my time
Its over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in the stars
But I know the truth and it haunts me
Its flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
Its flown just a little too far
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late

A Song

Thyrsis, a young and am'rous Swain,
Saw two, the Beauties of the Plain;
Who both his Heart subdue:
Gay Cælia's Eyes were dazzling fair,
Sabina's easy Shape and Air
With softer Magick drew.
He haunts the Stream, he haunts the Grove,
Lives in a fond Romance of Love,
And seems for each to dye;
'Till each a little spiteful grown,
Sabina Cælia's Shape ran down,
And she Sabina's Eye.
Their Envy made the Shepherd find
Those Eyes, which Love cou'd only blind;
So set the Lover free:
No more he haunts the Grove or Stream,
Or with a True-love Knot and Name
Engraves a wounded Tree.
Ah Cælia! (sly Sabina cry'd)
Tho' neither love, we're both deny'd;
Now, to support the Sex's Pride,
Let either fix the Dart.
Poor Girl! (says Cælia) say no more;
For shou'd the Swain but one adore,
That Spite which broke his Chains before,
Wou'd break the other's Heart.

Discover Me Like Emptiness

I run this world alone
A song stuck in my mind
Are you feeling alright?
Don't mind if you ask me once
Discover me like emptiness
A defense for a broken heart
Still offers a smile to the world betrayed...
Always close to the drop
Disapear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall
Blame me...
Escape me...
As you walked away
Tie me...
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you
Could never stand the middle
Want to go far and further
But something drags me down
Shapes me...
Forms me...
Into dillusion
Always close to the drop
Disapear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall
Blame me...
Escape me...
As you walked away
Tie me...
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you
As I bank other options
Make this picture distant
Signing off
Leave me alone
I blur you into the never...
Always close to the drop
Disapear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall
Blame me...
Escape me...
As you walked away
Tie me...
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you

Dont Let It Get You Down

Written by dewey bunnell, 1976
Found on hideaway.
Somebody told me that the time was right
To keep on ridin and to hang on tight
I heard the cry of a dog in the night
But nobody told me it would be all right
Dont let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Dont let it get you down
We took a ride down a hill that night
The man was crazy but he wouldnt fight
With bullets in his back and money in a sack
We robbed a bank and we never looked back
Dont let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Dont let it get you down
We took the bank, kept on runnin, but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night
We took the bank, kept on runnin, but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night, alright
Dont let it get you down
cause nobody made a sound
Dont let it get you down
Theyll be lucky if were ever found
Dont let it get you down (dont let it get you down)
Dont let it get you down (dont let it get you down)
Dont let it get you down (dont let it get you down)
Dont let it get you down (dont let it get you down) ...

Here Comes My Wife

Well here comes my wife
And thats the story of my life
She haunts me though she dont want me
She follows badly in disguise
But its not hard to recognize her cause shes cryin
She looks like dyin on me
Her fathers rich, I think a millionaire
But money doesnt make him better
It just makes him better to be there
So, you can tell him that its quite alright with me
No no, its quite alright with me
Well here comes my wife
And thats the story of my life
She haunts me though she dont want me
She follows badly in disguise
But its not hard to recognize her cause shes cryin
She looks like dyin on me
See that shadow dancin on the floor
Shes coming up behind me
How Id love to tell her shes a bore,
But I tell her that its quite alright, no no, its quite alright with me
Well here comes my wife
And thats the story of my life
She haunts me though she dont want me
She follows badly in disguise
But its not hard to recognize her cause shes cryin
She looks like dyin on me.....

A Little Bluer Than That

Well tonight if you turn your radio on
You might hear a sad, sad song
About someone who lost everything they had
It may sound like me
But I'm a little bluer than that
When you look out in the morning you might see
Clouds rollin' by like memories
And a big old sky above you lookin' back
You may think of me
But I'm a little bluer than that
Where did we go wrong
I wish I knew
It haunts me all the time
Now wherever I go and
Whatever I do
You're always on my mind
I can picture you in his arms tonight
But as for me it don't feel right
To let us fade like some old photograph
It may work for you
But I'm a little bluer than that
Where did we go wrong
I wish I knew
It haunts me all the time
Now wherever I go and
Whatever I do
You're always on my mind
So tonight if you turn your radio on
You might hear a sad, sad song
About someone who lost everything they had
It may sound like me
But I'm a little bluer than that
You may think of me
But I'm a little bluer than that

Hitch-hike

The dumb lass, she sang a song at least of the journey from her teary eyes before the vagabond stepped out.
Hitherto he couldn't get a lift as all are going somewhere else and not along the heaven road.
Accidentally a historian stopped and picked him up for the way back towards Babylon where she still sings alone.

The following character haunts me these days;
*Francis Phelan in William Kennedy's novel 'Ironweed', Ex-ballplayer, part-time gravedigger, full-time drunk, has hit bottom.

Stand Alone

There you are, cryin again
But your loveliness wont cover your shame
There you are, youre takin true love
And while youre takin true love, you given the blame
(how could I ...) could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along?
Days I wasted with you, child
If I count therell be a million or two
Now I stand alone through the memories
That haunts me, that haunt
Yeah, and I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me, me
There you are, cryin again
But your loveline-ness wont cover your shame
There you are, youre takin true love
And while youre takin true love, given the blame
(how could I ...) how could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along?
Days I wasted with you, child
If I count therell be a million or two
Now I stand alone through the memories
That haunts me, that haunts (... me)
And I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me
Now, there you are, cryin again
But your loveline-ness wont cover your sham-ame, hey
There you are, youre takin true lo-love
While youre takin true lo-love, given the blame

Dust Moon

How long have I been running far far away from you
As many miles as I've gone
Still the darkness comes on
There will be a crimson moon tonight

Dust moon rises...your face haunts me so
Dust moon rises...sanity leaving me soon
I still see your blood on the face of the moon

Your face haunts me, nothing clear now
Dust moon has risen
Bloody, mocking moon
Daylight seems lifetimes away, eternal midnight
Keep running away
Dust moon has risen...haunting me so
Dust moon rises...sanity, leaving me so soon?
I still see your face on the blood of the moon

And when the dust moon rests his weary head
And the sunshine begins to rise
Will I still be here or will I be dead
Is the dawn of a new day just a lie?

Heart

Does she make you laugh?
Does she make you cry?
Does she call your name?
Let me tell you why.
Have you ever tried to look into her eyes?
Have you ever tried to look into her heart?
There is no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
Just an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
Theres no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
Theres no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.
She will change your world.
She will change your mind.
She will change your rules.
She will make you blind.
You will never try to look into her eyes.
You will never try to look into her heart.
See theres no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
See an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
See no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
See no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.
Ill leave you
Youll try to forget.
Ill haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.
Ill leave you.
Youll try to forgive.
Ill haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.
Does she laugh at you
Like she laughed at me?
Does she break your heart
Like she broke mine?

Ever Since We Met

I do not want this poem to go to deep.
It's premature, and love's too far away,
But there are things i feel that i need to say,
Rather than more days of silence kept.
I hope for you it's not to great to leap.
To hear me talking to you in this way,
My fears some times my sentiments betray,
Telling me to put my thoughts to sleep.
Ever since we met I've thought of you,
As something more than just a passing friend,
You seem so lovely, like a melody,
That haunts me with the wisp of something true,
You haunt me still, and so I wont pretent;
I tell you this you might think of me.

Theme From Two Steps Onward

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
If you hear this, look again
Dont be a stranger
Dont be a shadow to this boy
A penny on its side
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know youre alive
And doing well
A quarter past three
The quarter you live in haunts my eyes
Im hand over head
Im held over hand
Im hand over head over heels over you
(chorus)
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know youre alive
And doing well
Its everything for two
Dont be a stranger
Dont be a shadow to this boy
A quarter past three
A quarter past
The quarter you live in haunts my eyes
Im hand over head
Im held over hand
Im hand over head over heels over you, you, you
(repeat chorus)
Ill give you a kiss
Ill give you a hug
Ill tell you a secret thats no lie
Dont be a stranger
Dont be a shadow
Dont be a shadow to this boy
Dont be a shadow to this boy
Dont be a shadow to this boy

What To Do

(holly)
What to do now that she doesnt want me?
Thats what haunts me
What to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely?
Want her only.
What to do?
The record hops and all the happy times we had.
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad.
Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing,
Still not knowing
What to do.

What to do?
What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8

Haunted

The wet rain of love softly pours
Kiss the night with drenched thighs
The earth turns towards Venus
Hot liquid kisses
Languid world without color
Love sleeps in golden dreams

Hearts parched in loneliness awaken
The moon sails with ivory romance
All the dry places fill with hope
This hunger deeper than time
Leaves blow like living emeralds
Blue stars of a diamond sea
Your eyes light a thousand fires
The image of your face haunts me

I am the broken vessel of freedom
We are meant to be in love
No banner fly’s higher
Night banishes ideology
Love bends the proud to the ground
Pretend all you want
Act for all your noble causes
Try to fill up your empty heart
I am haunted by your kiss
Your long hair
Your sweet laughter
I am ready to change
The thirst for love can be fierce!

Love haunts me with songbirds
With wet moonlight
With the sound of the pouring rain
I am haunted by visions of Love
I am haunted by you my jewel

The Sleep

Understanding what has
Happened before us
We are confined to a
Darkened hidden tomb
The conquering of our world
As we knew it
Rise above this pit
Of sorrow and pain
Among the few
We are the avant leaders
We've got to live
Through this trouble and decay

This question haunts my mind
Will we survive this night?
We're harboring the meek
Will we survive the sleep?

Unsure and scared
We are planning our reprise
Revolves around this world
We don't know anymore
The odds against us
Yet we're stronger and prevailing
Learn from mistakes
Counting souls for sale
