Haunted and Blue Songtext
von Ryan O'Reilly

You have been waiting for someone for so long
God show you mercy, I′ll show you none
Blindly in the sodden light, the peat-smelling wooden room
Feeling it can't be right to do what we do
She remarked my condition like a desperate affliction
Drank wine until she cried, ran through Brixton alone

Maybe I could have gone too
I could have followed you
Watch the lights in the trees sway haunted and blue

You can′t always go back, it's hard just to keep on
Two roads converge, I can't take either one
Desperate routines, disastrous promises
She turns her back, I knew it was wrong
I dreamed I was with her, her head on my shoulder
We′re divided by dreams, we′re both in the past


Maybe I could have followed you
But you could have stayed still too
Oh, the dye quickly sets and its stain's sure to last

The boxes are empty and lining the hallway
No one says goodbye, they always leave in the night
You cannot fake real love, I′ve tried hard, believe me
It's as plain as a scar that cuts left to right
Outside the theatre I couldn′t help but see her
Her eyes always searching, her dress to the floor
She had no religion, I had that and addiction
I wanted it all, oh, I got it and more

Maybe I could have gone too
I could have followed you
But if I had followed you
Would you just keep walking through?
Oh, the lights in the trees swaying haunted and blue
