STING lyrics : "Ghost Story"


I watch the Western sky
The sun is sinking

The geese are flying South
It sets me thinking


I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me

Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come

His icy sinews
Now in the fire light
The case continues


Another night in court
The same old trial

The same old questions asked
The same denial


The shadows closely run
Like jury members
I look for answers in

The fire's embers

Why was I missing then

That whole December
I give my usual line:
I don't remember


Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep

Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep


And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances

Why should it follow I must have loved you

What is the force that binds the stars

I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide
I never could find a place to hide


What moves the Earth around the sun
What could I do but run and run and run

Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail


The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
That this indifference was my invention

When everything I did sought your attention

You were my compass star

You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
A buried treasure


If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect

The prosecution rests
It's time that I confess: I must have loved you
