When I Saw Your Ghost Lyrics - Singles - Andrew London

This used to be a place I knew well 

This used to be a place that I called home 

But you lost your soul, went door to door 

That tired smile, I've seen it all before. 

Well, this used to be a place without silence 

Now apparitions fly out of the walls 

You tell yourself it's nothing and you step into the light 

But you don't forget. 

Oh, I can barely breathe 

Seeing you in front of me 

Not a prayer I believed 

When I saw your ghost. 

I flew across the ocean to begin again 

Some peace of mind, a place to lay my head 

You knew I'd give you anything 

Everything came pouring out instead. 

Yeah we try 'till our face goes numb 

And we won't stop 'till our work is done 

But we come home to an empty house 

Darling, did it end how it begun? 

Guess we should know better now 

I've been getting older, getting older 

Try as I might, I know 

still not any closer, any closer.
