Текст песни: The Ghost of Your Smile + перевод

I climbed up the attic stairs, went back in time

The perfect opportunity to see the scene of the crime

If that’s really what it was

There, among some postcards of the sea

Souvenirs of a vagrant time when everything was yet to be

Back then we were living in the Land of Oz

I found this photograph

Didn’t know if I should cry or laugh

We were hungry in a different sense

Hanging on to our precious innocence

But there’s a tear in the ghost of your smile

In my mind’s eye

What were we thinking? I hesitate to guess

The sun was rising in the east, we were looking west

Wouldn’t let a single night slip by

Without wasting time, chasing shadows in the dark

We couldn’t have come together, we just had to break apart

Never knew the reason why

Here it is in black and white

For so many years it hasn’t seen the light

A frozen moment caught in the lens

A lost emotion that somehow never ends

And there’s a tear in the ghost of your smile

In my mind’s eye

Whatever it was that you were then

More than a lover, less than a friend

The village idiot would sit and wait

While someone else was busy planning their escape

That’s the trace of a tear in the ghost of your smile

In my mind’s eye

In my mind’s eye
