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 x2 /
Dark and dangerous like a secret, that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper
And I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this close
In love with your ghost
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo x2 , , /,
Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you
Pierced 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 (bridge riff)
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
And my bitter pill to 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 at most
In love with your ghost
In love with your ghost x3 (shadowing my dreams; ooooooooh x2)
End with outro fill & riff. Strum D/Fto finish (200232).
