Indigo Girls - Ghost [Demo Version] Lyrics

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 
but at this point 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 
i'm in love with your ghost 

dark and dangerous like a secret 
that gets whispered in a hush 
(don't tell a soul) 
when i wake the things i dreamt about you 
last night make me blush 
(don't tell a soul) 
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 dance the edge of sanity 
i've never been this close 
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 
oh 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 
in love with your ghost 

you are shadowing my dreams 
(in love with your ghost) 
(in love with your ghost) 
(in love with your ghost)
