lyrics

Pale ghosts are dancing on my windowsill
I’m close to turning on the light
But as I walk the room I hear a whippoorwill
I let them dance again tonight

If I didn’t need to miss you, I could dig a deeper grave
I could press the earth down hard enough to keep the ghosts away

Pale ghosts are dancing on my windowsill
I watch stars flicker though their skin
In smoke and shadow they are wandering to find their bodies once again

If I didn’t need to miss you, I could dig a deeper grave
I could press the earth down hard enough to keep the ghosts away

Could I be strong enough to say goodbye again
And let the morning creep back in

If I didn’t need to miss you, I could dig a deeper grave
I could press the earth down hard enough to keep the ghosts away

If I didn’t have to miss you
