Ghost Lyrics - Retrospective - Indigo Girls

There's a letter on the desktop 

That I dug out of a drawer 

The last truce we ever came to 

From our adolescent war 

And I start to feel the fever 

From the warm air through the screen 

You come regular like seasons 

Shadowing my dreams 

And the Mississippi's mighty 

But it starts in Minnesota 

At a place that you could walk across 

With five steps down 

And I guess that's how you started 

Like a pinprick to my heart 

But at this point you rush right through me 

And I start to drown

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And there's not enough room 

In this world for my pain 

Signals cross, and love gets lost 

And time passed makes it plain 

Of all my demon spirits I need you the most 

I'm in love with your ghost 

I'm in love with your ghost 

Dark and dangerous like a secret (don't tell a soul) 

That gets whispered in a hush 

When I wake the things I dreamt about you (don't tell a soul) 

Last night make me blush 

Then you kissed me like a lover 

Then you sting me like a viper 

I go follow to the river 

Play your memory like the Piper 

Photos 

And I feel it like a sickness 

How this love is killing me 

But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly 

And dance the edge of sanity 

I've never been this close 

In love with your ghost 

Unknowing captor 

You'll never know much you 

Pierce my spirit 

But I can't touch you 

Can you hear it, a cry to be free... 

Oh, I'm forever under lock and key 

As you pass through me 

Now I see your face before me 

That would launch a thousand ships 

To bring your heart back to my island 

As the sand beneath me slips 

As I burn up in your presence 

And I know now how it feels 

To be weakened like Achilles 

With you always at my heels 

And my bitter pill to swallow 

Is the silence that I keep 

It poisons me, I can't swim free 

The river is too deep 

Though I'm baptized by your touch 

I am no worst at most 

In love with your ghost 

(In love) You are shadowing my dreams (with your ghost) 

(In love with your ghost) 

(In love with your ghost)
