Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Ghost In You lyrics

rate me

You awoke in a burning paper house

From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep

You return to Tiannammen

An eyewitness in a shroud

To see them fall, feel them yield

Reliving the terror of the crowd

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

Just for a moment I seemed to know

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

The whisper of your scream

Sighed through the air

And faith the flag is torn and frayed

Infernal heat, glory in flame

Love was beaten and betrayed

In every step I hear your sobbing

Dare I break the shade with one caress

Dare I trespass to lift the veil

To touch the lips so soft and frail

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

Your captive heart's

The belief you share

With a kiss eternal

Spirits of the square

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

Hope remains with the ghost in you

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

Don't let it blow

The ghost in you

The ghost in you
