Ghost Lyrics - The Other Side Of Me - Linda Eder

There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer 

The last truce we ever came to in 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 

Now you rush right through me and I start to drown 

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 

Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush 

When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night makes me blush 

And you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper 

I go follow to the river play your memory like a piper 

And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me 

I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly 

And that's the edge of sanity, I've never been this close 

I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost 

Unknowing captor, you never know how much you 

Pierce my spirit but I can't touch you 

Can you hear it, a cry to be free? 

I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me 

Now I see your face before me, I 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 

This bitter pill I 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 worse than most 

I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost 

I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost
