Ghost

I awoke to a ghost on my pillow
He frightened me ever so that my fear shook the willow

Woebegone, woebegone

It is there in your eyes
It is blue, kind of purple, sort of green
Your body starts to lilt
From side to side
The saddest thing I have ever seen

I awake to a ghost every evening now
Imaginary friends aren’t so bad when they help somehow

You are so beyond reach
You are so look the moon
Coming, going has always been your knack
But my ghost comes around
Every night when he’s gone I know he’ll be coming back

And I noticed that when you’re around I’m playing with my hair
I noticed when you’re not around I’m dreaming that you’re there
I noticed that I’m blushing every time I talk to you

I awoke to a ghost on my pillow
He frightened me ever so
That my fear shook the willow

I love you like the breeze
I love you like the moon
I love you like an evanescent dove
You need me, I need you
There’s nothing we can do
So the ghost forgave my love

And I noticed that when you’re around I’m playing with my hair
I noticed when you’re not around I’m dreaming that you’re there
I noticed that I’m blushing every time I talk to you
