There have been many men before me
And there will be thousand more to come
But none of them will know or be able to show
No none of them will know just what I've done.

And you can open up all of my letters
And you can even read them if you must
But in you I'll never know
And in you I'll never show
But in you, you know, I'll never have to trust.

So be gone with your ghost, my love
I will only forget your name.
So be gone with your ghost, my love
I have already forgotten your name.

Whiskey is the spirit in my body
And red wine is the blood that fills my veins.
The pills and cocaine are there to rid me of the pain
That's been hanging round me here for several days.

So be gone with your ghost, my love
I will only forget your name.
So be gone with your ghost, my love
I have already forgotten your name.

So be gone with your ghost, my love
I will only forget your name.
So be gone with your ghost, my love
I have already forgotten your name.

So be gone with your ghost, my love
I will only forget your name.
So be gone with your ghost, my love
I have already forgotten your name.

I have already forgotten your name.
