Since you're no longer here
Since I'm holding a ghost
In my arms at night
Since I've made a date
With the rain
And since an ocean separates us

I've resumed the course of life, of boredom
I've unlearned love
And in my ashes
I see your face again, darling
I glimpse the tender ghost

No matter how much I think
About your body next to mine
No matter how much I imagine
Evening kisses
Oh, if I ever had a nightmare
Upon waking, you were there

And even though
The voices of the sirens
Whisper in my ear that you love me
I have so much trouble finding sleep
I have so many ghosts calling me

Even though, they leave
And even though, they come back
There are always in my memory
Some specters that haunt my nights

No matter how much I try to control them
No matter how much I change, no matter how much I learn
I can't forget these past stories
Which are confusingly similar

I've spent many late nights
Drinking to drown the despair
Nights wiping away tears
That flowed endlessly

Why, so many times do I feel these souls
Like mirages in the dark?
They always come back, in dream or nightmare
The ghosts of women
