The Phantom Couple
Fog is thick on this summer's night
My only companion the lighthouse light
Your empty absence I can no longer take
Alone in this world I will surely break
The beckoning ocean promises you again
Only step closer and freely give in
Confusion replaces the pain of my tears
A shadowed phantom from the mist appears
With a blink and a shake it is suddenly gone
Hope guides me to the place it stood upon
No remnants remain but two pairs in the sand
Disappearing into the mist hand-in-hand
I cover my face and fall to my knees
Never alone, forever they watch over me
