lyrics

You said you had a loss for words well tell me honey how is life with no tongue
You said you had a feeling then but that feeling's just like you, you've gone on
and I saw you dancing in my shadow with your fingers running through my thinning hair
and there was a word I tried to find and I remembered it while I was sitting there

Kathleen, you haunt me in my sleep
Kathleen, I get no rest from the things you do to me
Kathleen, you're the specter in my dreams
Kathleen, stay away from me Kathleen

I'd sooner sell my soul to pay back the debt I owe to your mother
and your father he told me once I needed an education to be your lover
and those words I took to heart but surely paid no heed to them
and it was truly a mistake on my end for I found out I needed so much more than wisdom

Kathleen, you haunt me in my sleep
Kathleen, you don't know the things you do to me
Kathleen, you're the monster in my dreams
Kathleen, stay away from me

Well you're singing in your velvet gown and I'm wondering what has got you down
for I know we have been in this place before
and you told me how you felt so heavy like you were just a friend
and I was leaving you out in the cold

And if your tongue is broke tell me how do you still sing with a broken tongue
And if my hands are broke tell me how do I still keep strumming along
And if my heart is broke tell me how I can spend it, yeah, on your love
And tell me now that you feel broke and broken down just like I had felt before

Kathleen, you haunt me in my sleep
Kathleen, I get no rest from the things you do to me
Kathleen, you're the specter in my dreams
Kathleen, stay away from me Kathleen
