There's a letter on the desktop |
|
That I dug out of a drawer |
|
The last truce we ever came to |
|
From our adolescent war |
|
And I start to feel the fever |
|
From the warm air through the screen |
|
You come regular like seasons |
|
Shadowing my dreams |
|
And the Mississippi's mighty |
|
But it starts in Minnesota |
|
At a place that you could walk across |
|
With five steps down |
|
And I guess that's how you started |
|
Like a pinprick to my heart |
|
But at this point you rush right through me |
|
And I start to drown |
|
And there's not enough room |
|
In this world for my pain |
|
Signals cross, and love gets lost |
|
And time passed makes it plain |
|
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most |
|
I'm in love with your ghost |
|
I'm in love with your ghost |
|
Dark and dangerous like a secret (don't tell a soul) |
|
That gets whispered in a hush |
|
When I wake the things I dreamt about you (don't tell a soul) |
|
Last night make me blush |
|
Then you kissed me like a lover |
|
Then you sting me like a viper |
|
I go follow to the river |
|
Play your memory like the Piper |
|
And I feel it like a sickness |
|
How this love is killing me |
|
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly |
|
And dance the edge of sanity |
|
I've never been this close |
|
In love with your ghost |
|
Unknowing captor |
|
You'll never know much you |
|
Pierce my spirit |
|
But I can't touch you |
|
Can you hear it, a cry to be free... |
|
Oh, I'm forever under lock and key |
|
As you pass through me |
|
Now I see your face before me |
|
That would launch a thousand ships |
|
To bring your heart back to my island |
|
As the sand beneath me slips |
|
As I burn up in your presence |
|
And I know now how it feels |
|
To be weakened like Achilles |
|
With you always at my heels |
|
And my bitter pill to swallow |
|
Is the silence that I keep |
|
It poisons me, I can't swim free |
|
The river is too deep |
|
Though I'm baptized by your touch |
|
I am no worst at most |
|
In love with your ghost |
|
(In love) You are shadowing my dreams (with your ghost) |
|
(In love with your ghost) |
|
(In love with your ghost) |
