A Ghost

There’s a ghost in my bed
And he’s singing me love songs
Simple tune in my head
Has been haunting me all night long
Why can’t you let me be?
You lack much discretion
You form lethal melodies
Let’s start the procession
There’s a ghost in my house
Memories scattered on the wall
Echoes of brokenness come from my mouth
And it’s so hard to face them all
You used to speak tenderly
With loving expression
All that’s left now are broken things
My dearly departed
Hmm, ooh
Hmm, ooh
There’s a shadow of fear
It’s been lurking in the corners
Gentle whispers in elegant ears
Tell me I can’t ignore him
I’d like to think this could be
A sweet resurrection
But lingering jealousies
Give fatal direction
Pass on to the other side
Or haunt someone else’s life
Ooh, ooh
Sing me love songs
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Sing me love songs
