Lyrics
"Ghost In This House"
I don't pick up the mail
I don't pick up the phone.....
I don't answer the door
I'd just soon be alone
I don't keep this place up.....
I just keep the lights down
I don't live in these rooms
I just rattle around.....
I'm just a ghost in this (house) softly
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls.....
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
I don't care if it rains
I don't care if it's clear
I don't mind staying in
There's another ghost here.....
He sits down in your chair
And he shines with your light
And he lays down his head
On your pillow at //night
I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
I'm living proof of the damage
Heartbreak does
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
you took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
That once burned out of control
you took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
