Ghost - 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

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…
