Dave Taylor - Haunted Lyrics

Those eyes that once did fire a spark
In those heady yesterdays
When we stood as brothers in arms
They now stare hollow in my face

Haunted, haunted

What I ask changed the golden child
To the Devil's hand that held the gun
And built the altar where we sacrificed
The lives of other people's sons

Haunted, haunted

Haunted by those dark clouds
Haunted where those sorrows creep
Haunted by that clock I can't turn back
Haunted am I, waking, haunted in my sleep

The lines now etched upon my face
Read like the pages of a book
Oh that I could tear them all out
Change the ending that it took
Haunted, haunted

The mirror on the bathroom wall
Just throws me back a vacant stare
And sleeping brings me no oblivion
From the shadows that walk there

Haunted, haunted

Haunted by those dark clouds
Haunted where those sorrows creep
Haunted by that clock I can't turn back
Haunted am I, waking, haunted in my sleep

Though I count my gold and silver
Mind still rooted in denial
Watch me now my lips are moving
With a disconnected smile.

Haunted, haunted

No matter how the words are twisted
Truth spider like in a web is spun
Can't hide those bloodstained fingers
And the bitter tears still run

Haunted by those dark clouds
Haunted where those sorrows creep
Haunted by that clock I can't turn back
Haunted am I, waking, haunted in my sleep

Haunted, haunted
Haunted, haunted
Haunted by those haunted faces looking back at me
