ghosts that we knew

you saw my pain washed out in the rain

broken glass

saw the blood run from my veins

but you saw no fault

no cracks in my heart

and you knelt beside my hope torn apart

but the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view

we'll live a long life

so give me hope in the darkness that i will see the light

'cause oh that gave me such a fright

but i will hold as long as you like

just promise me we'll be alright

so lead me back

turn south from that place

and close my eyes to my recent disgrace

'cause you know my call

and we'll share my all

and our children come and they will hear me roar

so give me hope in the darkness that i will see the light

'cause oh that gave me such a fright

but i will hold as long as you like

just promise me we'll be alright

but hold me still

bury my heart on the coals

but hold me still

bury my heart on the coals

so give me hope in the darkness that i will see the light

'cause oh that gave me such a fright

but i will hold on as long as you like

just promise me we'll be alright
