I Lost You Lyrics - National Ransom - Elvis Costello

I Lost You 

I Lost You 

You slipped from your costume 

Like an actress in this tragedy 

You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery 

I fear that you've passed over me... 

And there's nothing I can do because 

I Lost You 

Just like a rich man who is careless of his change 

I took you for granted 

And then you went to strangers 

From deep within my heart I feel a distant fading pulse 

A poor woman looking for last coin in her purse

I Lost You 

I Lost You 

You slipped from your costume 

Like an actress in this tragedy 

You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery 

I fear that you've passed over me... 

And there's nothing I can do because 

I Lost You 

Just like a counterfeit you pass from palm to palm 

I chased the one I surely loved to someone else's arms 

I mislaid my senses, now that's easy to say 

A fool who took his pleasure but then threw his love away
