The Ghost Of Sex And You

It was an unbelievable night

She was an unremarkable girl

You may not call it poetry

But it changed my world

It was an unforgettable dawn

She was an indisputable fact

Even if I could have

I might not have it back

It's an unexceptional day

She's an unavoidable truth

Uncompromised elation

Suspended since my youth

It's an unforgivable lie

I have nothing in my defence

There can be no forgiveness

To caution this descent

It wasn't in a dream

A film or on TV

This was really happening

Happening to me

Though I may protest

Suggest I never knew

The ghost comes back to haunt me

The ghost of sex and you

I held her hand outside the hotel

Kissed her mouth in the back of the car

Whether fact or fantasy

I knew we'd gone too far

I feel her breath on the back of my neck

She's lying naked here on the floor

Wrap the sheet around her

Disappear beyond the door

It wasn't in a dream

A film or on TV

This was really happening

Happening to me

Though I may protest

Suggest I never knew

The ghost comes back to haunt me

The ghost of sex and you

It was an unbelievable night

She was an unremarkable girl

You may not call it poetry

But it changed my world

The ghost of sex and you

It was an unforgettable dawn

She was an indisputable fact

Even if I could have

I might not have it back

Sex and you

It's an unexceptional day

She's an unavoidable truth

Uncompromised elation

Suspended since my youth

Sex and you

It's an unforgivable lie

I have nothing in my defence

There can be no forgiveness

To caution this descent

The ghost of sex and you
