[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh,
In the stillness of the night, I feel you fade,
But your ghost, oh it stays. (stays, stays)
(oooooooooh),
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh),
Ripples of you, ringing deep in my mind, (baby),
A love that I puzzle over, time after time. (time)
Don't cage your spirit for me, stay wild and free, (lady)
For I’m haunted not by what is, but what cannot be.
(Oh-oh, oh), (but what cannot be, but what cannot be)
(oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 1]
Long dusk cast by the light of our past, (yeah)
I've wandered through memories that don't seem to last
(last)
A rustle of you, like grains through my hands, (oh)
Too much to hold, when you're slippin like sand. (oh, sand)
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh),
Ripples of you, ringing deep in my mind, (baby),
A love that I puzzle over, time after time. (time)
Don't cage your spirit for me, stay wild and free, (lady)
For I’m haunted not by what is, but what cannot be.
(Oh-oh, oh), (but what cannot be, but what cannot be)
(oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
I see you there, with the sun in your eyes, babe
A vision so clear, it pierces the lies. (lies)
But visions can fade, just as seasons will turn, (oooooooooh)
The lessons you gift me, are the ones that I earn. (learn, oh)
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh),
Ripples of you, ringing deep in my mind, (baby),
A love that I puzzle over, time after time. (time)
Don't cage your spirit for me, stay wild and free, (lady)
For I’m haunted not by what is, but what cannot be.
(Oh-oh, oh), (but what cannot be, but what cannot be)
(oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
It’s bittersweet, this freedom song we sing, (oh)
(oh-oh)
Knowing well, love’s not bound by a ring. (ring)
It’s bittersweet, this freedom song we sing, (oh)
(oh-oh)
Knowing well, love’s not bound by a ring. (riiiiiiing)
I visit in sorrow, I leave with the light, (LIGHT!)
(oh-oh)
Cherishing daydreams that the dark ignites. (ignites, oh)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh),
Ripples of you, ringing deep in my mind, (baby),
A love that I puzzle over, time after time. (time)
Don't cage your spirit for me, stay wild and free, (lady)
For I’m haunted not by what is, but what cannot be.
(Oh-oh, oh), (but what cannot be, but what cannot be)
(oh, oh, oh)
