lyrics

When I was younger I met a girl
I met a girl I loved so bad
She blew through me
Like a summer storm
And in the end it made me so sad
I was overwhelmed by how deeply I felt
Stunned, numbed, cut down to the core
I was obsessed
Obsessed with a girl
Who wouldn't be back no more

Locked in my head with a memory
A memory that's left me spellbind
Walking, moving but then standing still
In the lonely graveyard of my mind

This memory it lives with me
It lives with me till this very day
The whole distant world
Is colored with her absence
Circles me like a bird of prey
No matter what I do
I can't let her go
Like tar baby and the briar
I keep returning
Returning to that spot
Those precincts of desire

Then one day when I got old
When I got old it happened all over again
But this time I was so weary
Weary from doing time
From way back when
No way would I fall victim
Would I fall victim
To all that came before
But again I got obsessed
Obsessed with a girl
Who wouldn't be back no more
