there's a letter on the desktop
that i dug out of the drawer
in our adolescent war
the last truce we ever came to and i start to feel a fever
you come regular like seasons
from the warm air through the screen
shadowing my dreams and the mississippi's mighty
but it starts in minnesota
at a place that you can walk across
with five steps down
like a pinprick to my heart
and i guess that's how you started
but at this point you rush right through me
and i start to drown in this world for my pain
and there's not enough room
signals cross and love gets lost
and time past makes it plain
of all my demon spirits
i need you the most
i'm in love with your ghost that gets whispered in a hush (don't tell a soul)
dark and dangerous like a secret
when i wake the things i dreamt about you
last night make me blush
you kissed me like a lover
then you sting me like a viper
play your memory like a piper
i will follow to the river
i feel it like a sickness
how this love is killing me i would 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 pierce my spirit, but i can't touch you.
unknowing captor, you'll never know much you
i'm forever under lock and key
can you hear it, a cry to be free
as you pass through me now i see your face before me
to bring your heart back to my island
i would launch a thousand ships
i burn up in your presence
as the sand beneath me slips
to be weakened like achilles
and i know now how it feels
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 baptised by your touch
i am no worst at most, in love with your ghost.
