Bat For Lashes – The Haunted Man Lyrics

I couldn’t sleep last night
‘Cause I tried to forget you
In the suffocated air
I resolved to let you go
Twisted all our dreams
Til you became the nightmare
Close it off inside
Or else the herd is gonna rise

I couldn’t sleep last night
‘Cause I tried to forget you
Heard the old man and the sea
Singin’ low
In the silver ?, she cried
Never forget had gone and died
And the babes who’d clamped to her
Had all let go

(Couldn’t decipher most of the male choir background part – here’s some bits and pieces:)
I wish? she touched my skin
And ?
…
Where once we kissed the ground?
That memory scorched the ?
I have to tell you this
Death has become my ?
My dear, she touched my skin

Still I’m holding in my hand
Standing by my haunted man
Yes, you’re ghosts have got me too
But it’s me and you
I’ve come through?
