There is a letter on the desktop
I dug out of a drawer
Last truce we ever came to
In our adolescent war
Then I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams.
The Missisippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesot
Down a place which you could
Walk across with five steps down
I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprink to my heart
At this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown.
And there is not enough room in this world
For my pain
Signals cross, Love gets lost
As time passes, makes it plain
Of all my demons, spirits
I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost.
It's dark and dangerous like a secret
It gets whispered in a hush
And now the way, the things I dreamt
about you last night make me blush
You kiss me like a lover
You sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memories like a piper.
And I feel it like a sickness how
This love is killing me
I walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
I have never been this close
In love with your ghost.
Unknowing captor
You'll never know how much you
Pierced my spirit
But I can't touch you
Can you hear, a cry to be free?
For I'm forever under lock and key
Coz you pass through me
Now if I see your face before m
I would launch a thousand ships
Bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles
You always at my heels
What a bitter pill to swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim nor breathe
The River is too deep
Though I'm baptised by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost
In loev with your shadow in my dreams
In love with your ghost
In love with your ghost.
