Lyrics
It was an unbelievable night
She was an unremarkable girl
You may not call it poetry
But it changed my world
It was an unforgettable dawn
She was an indisputable fact
Even if I could have
I might not have it back
It's an unexceptional day
She's an unavoidable truth
Uncompromised elation
Suspended since my youth
It's an unforgivable lie
I have nothing in my defence
There can be no forgiveness
To caution this descent
It wasn't in a dream
A film or on TV
This was really happening
Happening to me
Though I may protest
Suggest I never knew
The ghost comes back to haunt me
The ghost of sex and you
I held her hand outside the hotel
Kissed her mouth in the back of the car
Whether fact or fantasy
I knew we'd gone too far
I feel her breath on the back of my neck
She's lying naked here on the floor
Wrap the sheet around her
Disappear beyond the door
It wasn't in a dream
A film or on TV
This was really happening
Happening to me
Though I may protest
Suggest I never knew
The ghost comes back to haunt me
The ghost of sex and you
It was an unbelievable night (It was an unbelievable night)
(She was an unremarkable girl)
An unforgettable dawn
(You may not call it poetry)
(But it changed my world)
The ghost of sex and you
(It was an unforgettable dawn)
You
(She was an indisputable fact)
(Even if I could have)
Sex and you
(I might not have it back)
(It's an unexceptional day)
The ghost comes back to haunt me
(She's an unavoidable truth)
The ghost of sex and you
(Uncompromised elation)
Sex and you
Suspended since my youth
It's an unforgivable lie (It's an unforgivable lie)
(I have nothing in my defence)
There can be no forgiveness
The ghost of sex and you
The ghost
(I held her hand outside the hotel)
(Kissed her mouth in the back of the car)
(Whether fact or fantasy)
Fantasy
(I knew we'd gone too far)
Believe it was an unforgivable dawn
(I feel her breath on the back of my neck)
(She's lying naked here on the floor)
An unbelievable night
(Wrap the sheet around her)
(Disappear beyond the door)
The ghost
