Ghosts Of Jackson Square Lyrics - Messenger - Edwin Mccain

Ghost on the street today 

Doorways of Jackson Square 

In tinsel and tap shoes 

Mardi Gras beads in her hair 

Down to the graveyard 

She wrung out her hands 

As if he will meet her 

All day she stands 

So don't leave me 

And I know you're justified 

So don't leave me 

Cause a part of you in me died 

We wish ourselves beautiful 

We cry in the night 

And it's not the love you feared 

But the fall from the height 

My personal ledges 

Afraid to look down 

My crepe paper bridges 

Enough water to drown 

Chorus 

And I see the lonely souls 

Searchin' 

But before the heartbreak rose 

Draw the curtain 

I'm a ghost on the streets today 

Surrounded by eyes 

I feel them peer through me 

And my harlequin disguise 

If it makes you feel better 

Come join me the while 

And there's love in these open arms 

Some love in my spirits' smiles
