You were the girl who had the curly hair
Those gentle hands and lips so sugar-sweet
And I knew before the end of my senior year
You were the lover I would marry in my dreams
Until the news said you were missing
And you were never found
My missing girl
My vanished fantasy
Forever there will be
A burning in my life
This constant thorn
In my ever-bleeding heart
We live worlds apart
And no one can make it right
Anymore
(Instrumental)
I later got a wife she kept me as a souvenir
Till the passion of a weekend barbecue
The guests went home and left us alone
And then she found your picture and the truth
The truth that I'm still
Still in love with you
My missing girl
My vanished fantasy
Forever there will be
A burning in my life
This constant thorn
In my ever-bleeding heart
We live worlds apart
And no one can make it right
Anymore
(Instrumental)
The day I die I hope to find your soul
Somewhere on the other side
Then we'll hold hands like we did before
And your heart will be forever mine
And I'll give you all the love
I've saved up all my life
(My Missing Girl)
My missing girl
My vanished fantasy
Forever there will be
A burning in my life
(This constant thorn)
This constant thorn
In my ever-bleeding heart
We live worlds apart
And no one can make it right
(My missing girl)
My missing girl
My vanished fantasy
Forever there will be
A burning in my life
(This constant thorn)
This constant thorn
In my ever-bleeding heart
We live worlds apart
And no one can make it right
Anymore
