Song Description

Self reflection as I get older and still looking for answers to life's elusive questions...

Lyrics

Haunt Me

[Verse]
I caught the eyes of an old man
and his sadness got me staring at the bad news
Written between the lines
That had weathered his face for years

[Verse]
He looked up and saw me
knowing how he knows me
his eyes asked my heart for love
or was it just smoke... changing the mirrors

[Chorus]
he couldn't tell me...
he didn't have to
he couldn't hear me...
he wouldn't want to
the sun... the moon... then over again...
his face will always haunt me

[Verse]
so I looked for other eyes
and other faces for the answers
younger... brighter... hopeful
full of gold and joy and glory

[Verse]
and when I found them
I felt the answers getting closer
But through the windows of their eyes
the truth was a different story

[Chorus]
they wouldn't tell me...
they didn't have to
they wouldn't hear me...
they didn't want to
the sun... the moon... then over again...
their faces will always haunt me

[Verse]
I knew the old man would die one day
under a moon of his own choosing
And stars that hadn't shown him the way
Just may have become...
the compass for his dreams

[Bridge]
He was my lighthouse
even though I never knew it...
Trapped in the shadows of doubt
I was always afraid...
there would be no other way out

[Chorus]
he couldn't feel for me...
he didn't have to
he couldn't love me
Even though he'd want to
the sun... the moon... then over again...
his face will always haunt me

[Outro]
Will I ever love him
I want to...

I want to...

I want to...
