Continental Drifters - Invisible Boyfriend lyrics

Written by peter holsapple Main voice: peter Produced by continental drifters Released on 'continental drifters' (1995) In the back of the dimly lit room Stands a woman alone or so you'd a**ume But there to her right, all through the night Stands her invisible boyfriend. I watch her turn and then smile at the air Half way expectin' to see him right there And when he's not her face just drops Meet the invisible boyfriend. The man of her dreams has returned to her dreams But she's by herself or so it would seem To a casual observer like i am. Ask her a question, she'll answer in kind But all would agree she's got more on her mind Look in her eyes, watch how she tries To hold herself back from cryin'. Left with a memory and time on her hands Left to a lifetime of unfinished plans Left all alone by the one very man Who would never have left her alone. Sometimes i think i can see him myself With his arms wrapped around her with picture of health Grinnin' at her just as they were Before the impossible happened. The man of her dreams has returned to her dreams But she's by herself or so it would seem To a casual observer like i am. But all that i know is the pains won't go by By the days and the weeks and the months since he died She starts to leave and there by her side Goes the invisible boyfriend. God, i wish i had known him He's the invisible boyfriend.
