Emilie Autumn - Poem: Ghost lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Ghost,<br>

Did you know sometimes it frightens me<br>

when you say my name and I can't see you<br>

will you ever learn to materialize before you speak<br>

impetuous boy, if that's what you really are<br>

how many centuries since you've climbed a balcony<br>

or do you do this every night with someone else<br>

you tell me that you never leave<br>

and I am almost afraid to believe it<br>

why is it me you've chosen to follow<br>

did you like the way I look when I am sleeping<br>

was my hair more fun to tangle<br>

are my dreams more entertaining<br>

do you laugh when I'm complaining that I'm all alone<br>

where were you when I searched the sea<br>

for a friend to talk to me<br>

in a year where will you be<br>

is it enough for you to steal into my mind<br>

filling up my page with music written in my hand<br>

you know I'll take the credit for I must have made you come to me somehow<br>

but please try to close the curtains when you leave at night<br>

or I'll have to find someone to stay and warm me<br>

will you always attend my midnight tea parties<br>

as long as I set your place<br>

if one day your sugar sits untouched<br>

will you have gone forever<br>

would you miss me in a thousand years<br>

when you will dry another's tears<br>

but you say you'll never leave me<br>

and I wonder if you'll have the decency<br>

to pass through my wall to the next room<br>

while I dress for dinner<br>

but when I'm stuck in conversation<br>

with stuffed shirts whose adoration<br>

hurts my ears, where are you then<br>

can't you cut in when I dance with other men<br>

it's too late not to interfere with my life<br>

you've already made me a most unsuitable wife<br>

for any man who wants to be the first his bride has slept with<br>

and you can't just fly into people's bedrooms<br>

then expect them to calmly wave goodbye<br>

you've changed the course of history<br>

and didn't even try<br>

where are you now<br>

standing behind me<br>

taking my hand<br>

come and remind me<br>

who you are<br>

have you traveled far<br>

are you made of stardust too<br>

are the angels after you<br>

tell me what I am to do<br>

but until then I'll save your side of the bed<br>

just come and sing me to sleep<br>

<BR><BR>
