Ghost By Indigo Girls

there's a letter on the desktop that i dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war
and i start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons
shadowing my dreams
and the mississippi's mightybut it starts in minnesota
at a place that you could walk across with five steps down
and i guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me and i start to drown
and there's not enough room in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
of all my demon spirits i need you the most
i'm in love with your ghost
i'm in love with your ghost
dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush

don't tell a soul
when i wake the things i dreamt about you last night make me blush

don't tell a soul
and you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper
i go follow to the river play your memory like a piper
and i feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
i'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
and dance the edge of sanity i've never been this close
i'm in love with your ghost
unknowing captor

you never know how much you pierce my spirit
but i can't touch youcan you hear it

a cry to be free
oh i'm forever under lock and key
as you pass through me
now i see your face before me i would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
as i burn up in your presence and i know now how it feels
to be weakened like achilles with you always at my heels
this bitter pill i swallow is the silence that i keep
it poisons me i can't swim free the river is too deep
though i'm baptized by your touchi am no worse than most
in love with your ghost
you are shadowing my dreams
in love with your ghost
in love with your ghost
in love with your ghost
