You've Haunted Me All My Life

You've haunted me all my life

Through endless days and countless nights

There was a storm when I was just a kid

Stripped the last code of innocence



You've haunted me all my life

You're always out of reach when I'm in pursuit

Long winded then suddenly mute

And there's a flaw in my heart's design

For I keep trying to make you mine



You've haunted me all my life

You've haunted me all my life

You are the mistress I can't make a wife

And you've haunted me all my life



And so I wait but I never seem to learn

How to capture your diminishing returns

I still see through the eyes of a child

Not even thinking we could tame the wild



You've haunted me all my life

You've haunted me all my life

You are the mistress I can't make a wife

And you've haunted me all my life



You've haunted me all my life

You've haunted me all my life

You are the mistress I can't make a wife

And you've haunted me all my life
