I wish I could claim the rights. The most beautiful words Ive read and known for decades Ghost - Indigo Girls Theres a letter on the desktop That I dug out of a drawer The last truce we ever came to From our adolescent war And I start to feel a fever From the warm air through the screen You come regular Like seasons Shadowing my dreams And the Mississippis mighty But it starts in Minnesota At a place that you can walk across with five steps down And I guess thats how you started Like a pinprick to my heart But at this point you rush right through me And I start to drown And theres not enough room in this world for my pain Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes its claim Of all my demon spirits I need you the most In love with your ghost Dark and dangerous like a secret That gets whispered in a hush (dont tell a soul) When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush First you kiss me like a lover Then you sting me like a viper I go follow to the river Play your memory like the piper And I feel it like a sickness How this love is killing me But I walk into the fingers of your fire willingly And dance the edge of sanity Ive never been this close In love with your ghost Unknowing captor Youll never know just how you pierce my spirit But I cant touch you Can you hear it A cry to be free Or Im forever under lock and key As you pass through me Now I see your face before me And I would launch a thousand ships To bring your heart back to my island As the sand beneath me slips Though I burn up in your presence And I know now how it feels To be weakened like Achilles With you always at my heels And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep It poisons me I cant swim free The river is too deep Though Im baptized by your touch I am no worse at most In love with your ghost
