lyrics

I can’t remember your face,
It’s been so long since Friday night
When I was 25,
and complicated

But now I can’t forget
The way you kissed me, eyes closed, silhouette
“Left and Leaving”
Still singing us to sleep

Tip-toe, around you now
I am your lover’s ghost, years forgotten
Faded. Just out of sight
The corner of your eye, let me go

Each clue I’ve left for you
To find a piece of me in everything
An out-of-season cardinal
A stone where it doesn’t belong

In the bluest skies, I see your eyes,
Every time, do you see mine?
In chicago
An hour behind

Tip-toe, around you now
I am your lover’s ghost, years forgotten
Faded. Just out of sight
The corner of your eye, let me go

But, if you’re not here,
What’s the voice I’m hearing, ringing in my ears?
And I have rubbed my eyes,
Til I saw stars then watched the fog begin to rise
If I’m still alive, you’re one who’s gone
And can’t remember when or where it all went wrong.
So please, take me at my word,
Lord make me a bird, so I can fly back home to you

Tip-toe, around me now
You are my lover’s ghost, not forgotten
Faded. Just out of sight
The corner of my eye
