Specter of the Love
Ellen Marconi/Mike Tarango
Verse 1
There was a time you said that you could understand me
I am a scene within the movie in your mind
I am the script, I am the score, I am the book that’s is your life
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
A specter of the love I’ll never find
Verse 2
Was a time that I thought that I could hold you
Caught in a love, that bleeds into my soul
So for years I hid my fears, suppressed the tears, I’ve no control
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
A specter of the love I’ll never find
Chorus
You been stepping on my dreams and schemes, that sacred part of me
Locked in time, cannot find, the part of me you cannot see
Is no doubt, I feel without
You cannot crush my every dream
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
A specter of the love I’ll never find
Verse 3
So sublime that I thought that I could love you
Squandered time, far too blind, such bitter proof
Lost control, in my heart and in my mind sometime ago
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
A specter of the love I’ll never find
Chorus:
You been stepping on my dreams and schemes, that sacred part of me
Lost in time, cannot find, the part of me you cannot see
Is no doubt, I feel without
You cannot crush my every dream
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
Ohhhhh
You been stepping on my dreams and schemes, that sacred part of me
Lost in time, cannot find, the part of me you cannot see
Is no doubt, I feel without
You will not crush my every dream
You are the haunted part of me I left behind
You are a vision of the hurt right down the line
A specter of the love………………………………I’ll never find
