Ghost Story Lyrics - The Last Ship - Original Broadway Cast Recording

I watch the western sky 

The sun is sinking 

The geese are flying south 

It sets me thinking 

I did not miss you much 

I did not suffer 

What did not kill me 

Just made me tougher 

I feel the winter come 

His icy sinews, 

Now in the firelight 

The case continues 

Another night in court 

The same old trial 

The same old questions asked 

The same denial 

The shadows closing round 

Like jury members 

I look for answers in 

The fire's embers 

Why was I missing then 

That whole December? 

I give my usual line, 

I don't remember 

Another winter comes 

His icy fingers creep 

Into these bones of mine 

These memories never sleep 

And all these differences 

A cloak I borrowed 

We kept our distances 

Why should it follow that 

I must have loved you? 

What is the force that binds the stars? 

I wore this mask to hide my scars 

What is the power that pulls the tide? 

Never could find a place to hide 

What moves the earth around the sun? 

What could I do but run and run and run? 

Afraid to love, afraid to fail 

A mast without a sail 

The moon's a fingernail 

And slowly sinking 

Another day begins 

And now I'm thinking 

That this is indifference 

Was my invention 

When everything I did 

Sought your attention 

You were my compass star 

You were my measure 

You were a pirate's map 

Of buried treasure 

If this was all correct 

The last thing I'd expect 

The prosecution rests 

It's time that I confessed 

I must have loved you 

I must have loved you
