The Hermit And The Lover

You walked in like an intruder
With every footstep, the floor might have squeaked
I was hiding behind the curtain
As if we were playing hide and seek

You called us the hermit and the lover
You'd find me, it's in the cards
You called us the hermit and the lover
A frightening stranger to my solitary heart

Being with you
Felt like being alone
Without loneliness
You brought life to this body's ghostliness
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You brought life to this body's ghostliness

You came in like a flower
That grew out of the hardwood floor
Where I was hiding behind the curtain
Being part of the forest decor

You called us the hermit and the lover
You'd find me, it's in the cards
You called us the hermit and the lover
A frightening stranger to my solitary heart

Being with you
Felt like being alone
Without loneliness
You brought life to this body's ghostliness

Being with you
Felt like euphoria
Without opiates
You brought life to this body's ghostliness
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You brought life to this body's ghostliness

I'm back again behind the curtain
A place forgotten, covered with dust
Your perfume, the smell of musk
Give me comfort and a sense of trust

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Yet you left me staring out of the window
With a secret sense of wondrous

Being with you
Felt like being alone
Without loneliness
You brought life to this body's ghostliness

Being with you
Felt like euphoria
Without opiates
You brought life to this body's ghostliness
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You brought life to this body's ghostliness
