Ghosts Of Hallelujah Lyrics - Singles - Gourds

Our candles are in danger from the way we carry them 

So keep yer matches handy and wait to see if when 

The ghosts of hallelujah trickle through the walls 

Brandishing the wrong words nail the cursings in the hall 

The ghosts of hallelujah leave you there alone 

Counting bottles of medicine and longing for yer home 

Don't forget the hands that made you 

Don't forget yer lonely days 

And soak yer heart in clover anytime you feel it sway 

"i've got no harmless longings" at least that's what she said 

As night came even closer to the bare hips of my bed 

So temptation sings a slow song and wraps yer lust in shame 

The women take on new lives as you swagger with the lame 

The ghosts of hallelujah leave you there alone 

Counting bottles of medicine and longing for yer home 

Don't forget the hands that made you 

Don't forget yer lonely days 

And soak yer heart in clover anytime you feel it sway
