GHOSTS

 

Table for one

Doesn't matter which room

Something by the window

If you've got it, I'll take a booth

Whatever's clever

Check under the name "Dweller"

It's just me and all these ghosts I love

 

Peep at the menu

Glance just to the side

Picture-perfect Helen

Is looking at me in black and white

Was almost my Mrs.

Now she's sitting right here blowing kisses

Just another ghost I love

 

Skip dessert, we'll hit the candy store

Same little spot I used to impress Eleanor

She was sweeter than the day

But she lived too far away

And that's how she became a ghost I love

 

Oh, you get me through my days

You turn my dark to light

You don't fuss and you don't change

And you come home every night

 

Checked in as one

Checked out as two

Met her in the hotel bar

And we knew, well, what to do

I did the things I did before

She did the things she did before

That we learned from all the ghosts we love

 

Oh, you get me through my days

You turn my darkness into great, white, bright light

You don't change and I don't seem to mind

Replay the movie of every time you used to soothe me

And play it again, play it again

Play it again one more time

 

Table for one

Doesn't matter about the view

Doesn't matter who I'm with

Where I go or what I do

I do the things I did before

I feel the way I felt before

When it's me and all these ghosts I love

It's just me and all these ghosts I love

It's me and all these ghosts I love
