Ghosts Lyrics - Alas I Cannot Swim - Laura Marling

He walked down a busy street 

Staring solely at his feet 

Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side 

Stood at the table where she sat 

And removed his hat 

In respect of her presence 

Presents her with the pictures and says 

"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you. 

These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you" 

Opened up his little heart 

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark 

And read a written warning 

Saying 'I'm still mourning 

Over ghosts 

Over ghosts 

Over ghosts 

Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you'

Lover, please do not 

Fall to your knees 

It's not 

Like I believe in 

Everlasting love 

So he went crazy at nineteen 

Said he'd lost all his self esteem 

And couldn't understand why he was crying 

He would stare at empty chairs 

Think of the ghosts that once sat there 

The ghosts that broke his heart. 

oh the ghosts that broke my heart 

The ghosts that broke his heart 

oh the ghosts that broke my heart 

the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts 

The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not 

Fall to your knees 

It's not 

Like I believe in 

Everlasting love 

He says 'I'm so lost, 

Not at all well' 

ooooooooooohhh x2 

After it was done when there was nothing left to be 

Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me 

After it was done after it was over 

We were just two lovers crying on each other's shoulder 

Lover, please do not 

Fall to your knees 

It's not 

Like I believe in 

Everlasting love 

Lover, please do not 

Fall to your knees 

It's not 

Like I ever believed in 

Everlasting love
