She whispered and I came running like the comeback kid,
like I always did.
Was I the dog you wished you'd always had?
Quiet when you're sleeping,
kisses when you're sad.
I was wading out to save you;
You were into that romantic shit and wanted to die young.
And it was plain to see,
to everyone but me;
there are no haunted places,
only people we still wish that we could see.
In the year of our love I pledged I would save you
from all the howling shapes in the night you lay claim to.
And all the jealous lovers who insisted they were true,
but leave like funeral roses after they're through.
But they take no note of the flowers,
saying they're only temporal, they last only hours.
