I remember you
You, who haunt my dreams
You, who make my waking hours so hollow
Now that you are gone
I see you everywhere
I was such a fool to ever follow

No one can possess their desire
Once won, it will soon disappear

A SIGH IN THE SHADOWS
SILOUETTE IN THE DOORWAY
A PHANTOM OF SORROW
THAT’S THE GHOST OF DESIRE

Must this dance go on
With you beyond my reach
Yearning for you till my heart is bursting
And what becomes of me
Am I doomed to be
Like Tantalus, eternal in my thirsting

The gods must be laughing at me
As I chase my lost ecstasy

A SIGH IN THE SHADOWS
SILOUETTE IN THE DOORWAY
A PHANTOM OF SORROW
THAT’S THE GHOST OF DESIRE

Just my fate
To see you making your escape
As I’m arriving way too late
To carry you away
And save the day

How can I quit this game
That’s driven me insane
I know I’ll never win
The past I’m shackled in

A SIGH IN THE SHADOWS
SILOUETTE IN THE DOORWAY
A PHANTOM OF SORROW
THAT’S THE GHOST OF DESIRE
