Ghost of Another Man
Haunted Memories: Living with a Ghost
Lyrics
He's living in that big old house
He resides in a large, old house that I know I built.
That he knows was built by me
He acknowledges the house was constructed by me.
He's playing with the baby
He spends time with the child who belongs to his current partner and me.
That belongs to her and me
He interacts with a baby who is the child of his current partner and me.
At night he loves a woman
During the night, he shares intimacy with a woman once held by my hands.
That was held by these two hands
He's involved with a woman I was previously involved with.
He must be leaving hell to live
It seems he's enduring a difficult situation to coexist with the memory or essence of my past presence.
With a ghost of another man
He might be enduring a tough time living with the memory or impact of my past existence.
My name is in the side wall
My name is inscribed in the wall near our bedroom entrance.
Outside our bedroom door
There's a visible marking outside our bedroom that bears my name.
He can't help but see
He unavoidably encounters reminders of me wherever he goes.
What's too dare in me everywhere he goes
He sees something of my boldness or essence everywhere he travels.
He gladly walked through heaven
He willingly traversed pleasant experiences to try and forget what he can't tolerate.
To forget what he can't stand
He may be enduring an unbearable situation to coexist with my memory or influence.
He must be leaving hell to live
He might be enduring a tough time living with the memory or impact of my past existence.
With a ghost of another man
It appears he's struggling with the remnants or essence of my previous existence.
I don't mean to haunt him
I don't intend to constantly remind or trouble him.
When they turn out the lights
When the lights are turned off, I'm present in their bedroom.
I'm there in the bedroom
My influence or memory is felt in their bedroom.
With both of them each night
Both of them encounter my presence or memory every night in the bedroom.
And he wonders if he just loved her
He questions whether he loved her as intensely as I did in the past.
As good as I loved her back then
He wonders if his love for her was as profound as mine back then.
He must be leaving hell to live
He might be enduring a tough time living with the memory or impact of my past existence.
With a ghost of another man
He seems to be struggling with the remnants or essence of my previous existence.
