Lyrics
Ghosts That We Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
We'll share my all
Now children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
But hold me still, bury my heart on the coast
And hold me still, bury my heart next to yours
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on with all of my mind
Just promise me we'll be alright
The ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
But we'll live a long life
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we'll live a long life
