The Ghost of You

Call me from beyond your bedroom door when you awake
You don't know how to ask but I'll hold you
Haven't spoken a word since your cry after working all yesterday
And I live to hear you laugh from the other room

Now the coffee in your cup goes cold
The flowers at the door droop now you ignore them
The sunlight through the window looks away
And your old phone taunts you from the kitchen wall
You fought to keep when you moved in here
When you thought your life would a look a different way

And baby I know
That you're fighting
Making your way in the dark
Nowhere to run to
In a haunting
Telling me to hold you tighter
So I cling now like a host to you
Running around with the ghost of you
Holding onto a whisper
Running around with your ghost
Running around with your ghost

Putting on your corduroy, half drifting away
And I lead you through the alleys that you loved
Haven't taken a picture in the sunlight
Since news had something good to say
And I miss the way you'd glowed through the camera

And I get it I'm in no position here to play savior
Crumbling by the minute myself
But I'll move the world to light up your face
So I lead us back to our spot
To the old garden where you dared me to kiss you
For a breath of magic in the autumn haze

And baby I know that
You're fighting
Making your way in the dark
Nowhere to run to
In a haunting
Telling me to hold you tighter
So I cling now like a host to you
Running around with the ghost of you
Holding onto a whisper
Running around with your ghost
Running around with your ghost
Running around with your ghost
