Leper Perseguita (Haunt) lyrics

If you were first to go I won't be parted from your face
Perhaps I'd spend the rest of my life laying across your grave
If it were me I'd want to say I'd try to find a way
Promising to haunt you the rest of your days
Darlin' close your eyes - the wolves howl tonight
And imagine that it's me - serenade you oh so sweetly
Darlin' close your eyes
We all know the rule applies
Appointing once to die
If flights of fancy ease the pain of loss
Then someone tell me why I'd be condemned to be tormented, tormented by your ghost
Or gladly embrace madness to retain the love I scarcely did deserve
Darlin' close your eyes - the wolves howl tonight

And imagine that it's me - serenade you oh so sweetly
Darlin' close your eyes - the moon is full and bright
Dancing here within the fog - memories of your lost love
The agony of pressing on - letting go when shadows fall
Finding all was never lost - lie alone within the dark
Crushing hearts - weʼve come undone
I donʼt mean to rattle on - it's just one fear that I dwell on
That from this world if you were gone - and I'm alone to greet the dawn
Thereʼs just one thing that I would want - Darling haunt me
