Ghost
Indigo Girls Song Lyrics
Words and Music: Emily Saliers 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 of the warm air through the screen You come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota At a place where you can walk across with five steps down And that's just how you started like a pinprick to my heart But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown There's not enough room in this world for my pain Signals crossed 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 it gets whispered in a hush (don't tell a soul) And when I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush (don't tell a soul) When you kiss me like a lover and 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 would walk into the fingers of your fire willingly Dance the edge of sanity I've never been this close In love with your ghost oooooh-oooooooh-ooooooh-oooooooooh oooooh-oooooooh-ooooooh-oooooooooh Unknowing captor you'll never know how 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 I would launch a thousand ships To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels This 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 worse at most In love with your ghost Amy: In love with your ghost In love with your ghost Emily: You are shadowing my dreams oooooh-oooooooh-ooooooh-oooooooooh |
