two lovers

i saw two lovers last night

down where the ships put to sea. one was the image of you

the other was so like me. i saw two lovers last night

while the sea music played. music that told of farewell

but i was not afraid

still i can't erase the memory

of their kiss and last goodbye. a ship on the far horizon

that last long haunting cry. so tell me now my love: these two that said goodbye

say that it just couldn't be

no it never could be

the ghosts of you and i. i saw two lovers last night
