On every coast Or continent I can feel the ghost Of what you meant Can't smoke enough And I can't escape And to dream, my love, Keeps me awake In my endless try To find a place Where I can't see Your cursed face And something has died And all that is left So mournfully Bereft Where can I go, What can I drink To let me breathe, To let me think Without the sting That always comes Tearing things 'Til I am numb In my endless try To find some peace If the blood is dry
Then the pain should ease But something has died And all that is left So mournfully Bereft Ever darkness Before the dawn When your world won't spin The nights get long Blind man bluffing, I feel my way 'Til my fingers brush The breaking day Just an endless try To find some rope Too late to save Any drowning hope 'Cause something has died And all that is left So mournfully Bereft Something has died And all that is left So mournfully Bereft
