I never knew what made me do it 
I just remember it was wrong 
I've questioned why I put you through it 
Who would have thought you'd be so strong  
I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe 
Instead I turned my back on you 

You can't deny there’s a spectre of love 
He keeps the hawk and dove   
You can't deny there’s a spectre of love 

I keep your picture by my window 
You're smiling and you look so young  
If I could only speak your language 
You’d know that you're the only one 
I feel like stepping out in dead mans shoes 
And only you can save me now 

You can't deny there’s a spectre of love 
He keeps the hawk and dove   
You can't deny there’s a spectre of love 

And if the time should give up 
This can be undone I swear it 

Salvation can be found in times like these  
I just need you when I found mine 

You can't deny there’s a spectre of love 
He keeps the hawk and dove   
You can't deny there’s a spectre of love
