You've Haunted Me All My Life

You've haunted me all my life Through endless days and countless nights There was a storm when I was just a kid Stripped the last code of innocence You've haunted me all my life You're always out of reach when I'm in pursuit Long winded then suddenly mute And there's a flaw in my heart's design For I keep trying to make you mine You've haunted me all my life You've haunted me all my life You are the mistress I can't make a wife And you've haunted me all my life And so I wait but I never seem to learn How to capture your diminishing returns I still see you through the eyes of a child Not even thinking we could tame the wild You've haunted me all my life You've haunted me all my life You are the mistress I can't make a wife And you've haunted me all my life You've haunted me all my life You've haunted me all my life You are the mistress I can't make a wife And you've haunted me all my life
