ghost
you were gone before i reached you
with your green eyes still open and beautiful
and i knelt down to meet you
and my blue eyes they opened with the rain that came down on us
and i, oh I swear to you, there was nothing i could do
oh you’d bled my love, and far too much
your ghost, it shakes its chains at me
it will not let me sleep, it’s memorized me
what will the damage be, will you go easy on me
i saw the man you told me not to call
if ever you should go the way you did that night
but don’t be angry love that i would fall
there was a burning desperation behind my eyes to make it right
and i, oh i swear to you, there was nothing i could do
oh you’d bled my love, and far too much
your ghost, it shakes its chains at me
it will not let me sleep, it’s memorized me
what will the damage be, will you go easy on me
