I do believe our love's in danger I might as well be loving air
You look at me like I'm a stranger You look at me like I'm not there
I gaze into your eyes of blue but their beauty is not for me You're

Thinking on someone who's gone You're dreaming of the one you really love
I made you mine, or so it seemed Though he is dead he haunts your dreams
I might as well be two ft. tall You never will love me at all
You're dreaming of the corpse you really love

    It reminds me of this poem I read forever ago with a stanza that read something like this:

    "To thrust love overboard makes it quite safe.

    Oh lovers, learn that love does more than drown when thrust overboard-- It forever anchors you as its own."
