I'm writing love letters to a dead man,
I'm writing songs that will be set in stone,
I'm writing poems on his tombstone,
I'm writing letters to a dead man,
I'm writing songs to another ghost,
All that we had is now gone,
All that we had is lost,
All that we had will be buried too,
All that we had was not set in stone,
I'm writing songs to a dead man,
I'm writing songs to everything I lost,
I'm writing songs to another ghost,
I'm writing songs to his ghost,
All this will pass,
It's not meant to last,
All this will pass like he had to go,
All that I loved has been turned to bones,
All that I loved is now gone.
Last time we met it was so sublime,
Looked in my eyes, and he smiled,
Said, "This too shall pass, but don't fear the night
I'm always here by your side,"
Last time we met he was so alive,
Looked in my eyes and he smiled,
Said, "This is the last of so many nights,
I have been blessed by your light,"
Said, "This is the end of so many nights,
I'm going in to the light"
Last time we met it was so sublime,
Looked in my eyes and he smiled,
Said, "This too shall pass, but don't fear the night"
I'm always here by your side,
I'm making love to his ghost,
I'm making love to his ghost.
