I Lost You

I lost you I lost you

You slipped from your costume

Like an actress in this tragedy

You're just an apparition in this haunting mystery

I fear that you've passed over me

And there's nothing I can do because I lost you

Just like a rich man who is careless of his change

I took you for granted and then you went to strangers

From deep within my heart I feel a distant fading pulse

A poor woman looking for last coin in her purse

I lost you I lost you

You slipped from your costume

Like an actress in this tragedy

You're just an apparition in this haunting mystery

I fear that you've passed over me

And there's nothing I can do because I lost you

Just like a counterfeit you pass from palm to palm

I chased the one I surely loved to someone else's arms

I mislaid my senses now that's easy to say

A fool who took his pleasure and then threw his love away

I lost you I lost you

You slipped from your costume

Like an actress in this tragedy

You're just an apparition in this haunting mystery

I fear that you've passed over me

And there's nothing I can do because I lost you

I lost you

I lost you
