A Lunatic’s Lament

Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke] If only you could see If only you could see (You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of) If only you could see If only you could see [Verse 1: Shawn Milke & Dennis, Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee] Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes? Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (Tonight) It was your poison kiss that turned me into this Then again, there is a chance you could be mine (Tonight) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke] (Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?) [Verse 2: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee] What fate has led me here? Oh, please forgive me, dear I don't know if I could survive on my own (My own) I could have married you, instead I buried you Now we'll see if I can fall asleep alone (Alone) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? [Bridge: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke] (Are you satisfied?) The nightmares coming true (Are you satisfied?) It was all for you (Are you satisfied?) I did it all for you (Are you satisfied?) [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? [Outro: Adam Fisher] The depth of a man's soul cannot be measured In a manner of meters and fathoms But rather it is, in my opinion Only quantified by his proximity to Heaven and Hell It was in such a state that I ushered myself past the town tavern Bursting at the seams with the sounds of laughter and drunken piano playing Had it only been a different night, a different place Or a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub The events that transpired at that point Would have undoubtedly been drastically different I can only guess if anyone outside that place Had a clue when those exclamations of mirth Became the desperate screams of the helpless Begging for their very lives
