letra de ghosts - ellis paul

all around me i see ghosts
hanging out on balconies mostly
laughing at the mortals
like we’re the brunt of an inside joke
sweet revenge that we can touch friends and family
i see ghosts all around me
crash rock concerts and the symphony
dress in ebony like wayward funeral hosts

[chorus]
they don’t speak to me
it’s like they see straight through me
and they know all that’s to come
and what is done
and what frightens me
is not their fearsome company
it’s the future that is prescribed to me
i will not ask them why they’ve come

margaret putnam was a nurse
in the civil war she served her country
she walks in through my walls
like an actress well rehe-rs-d
she’d be more frightening
if she were less less lovely
[chorus]
she won’t speak to me
it’s like she sees straight through me
and she knows all that’s to come
and what is done
and what frightens me
is not her fearsome company
it’s the future that is prescribed to me
i will not ask her why she’s come

i see ghosts all around me
sleep through lectures in theology
they don’t make apologies
for the secrets that they know
like to appear on unsolved mysteries
