Ghost Lyrics

by Gretchen Peters

there was a girl who used to live here
sometimes you still can hear her laugh
see her planting in the garden
see her soaking in the bath

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e75103-gretchen_peters~ghost_lyrics.html ]
but you let her beauty go unnoticed
you let her music go unheard
you should have listened when she told you
you should have hung on every word

now i'm a ghost, i haunt this house
and wait for love to lift this shroud
take these withered dreams and let 'em go
i'm a ghost, i'm what remains
i walk these halls and curse these chains
and think about the things i loved the most
i'm a ghost

if i was looking for redemption
well i know it isn't here
and i won't hang around forever
so you can watch me disappear

so now i'm stuck here in this limbo
waiting for my soul's release
maybe a garden of my own somewhere
where i can find a little peace

it's much too late for blame
but would it have killed you to say my name?

i'm a ghost...
