Ghost

My love, my little ghost

My heart, my sinking boat

We’ve built our bridge in the middle of nowhere

So let’s burn it down and get to the ground

I know that words are slow sometimes

I know the weight of the things on your mind

So I fall quiet, admiring the timber burning fast

Flames rising higher and higher

And no one found the smoke as lovely as we did

All they could see was a fatal fire

We watched the night slip just like we did

We’d coax the warmth back into our bones

My dark, my heavy hand

My light, my fearful plan

Whеn all this goes, will we still remеmber

How to burn, how to fight?

I know this home is cold sometimes

But it’s a home that is yours and it’s mine

So I fall quiet admiring the embers growing cold

Flames getting tired, so tired

And no one found the smoke as lovely as we did

All they could see was a failed fire

We watched the night slip just like we did

We’d coax the warmth back into our bones
