The Shirt Of A Ghost |
Mary at home, as always, was ironing a pale shirt of a ghost |
Trying to straighten out every crease of his being and the emptiness where she |
was lost |
Ten minutes before she had her man drying in the summer’s breeze |
Their love had been helped by a little red peg but it was just a moment seized |
'Cause he flew away |
On a memory where most |
People fade away |
But now she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Yeah she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Ten minutes before he ran away to a stranger’s hands and feet |
And as it turned she saw them play among the soap, water and heat. |
'Cause he flew away |
On a memory where most |
Lovers just fade away |
And she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Yeah she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Ten minutes before the shirt was stained in anger and greed |
And it smelled of revenge from a broken heart and the shirt his body no longer |
did need |
'Cause he flew away |
On a memory where most |
Bodies just fade away |
But she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Yeah she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
'Cause he flew away |
On a memory where most |
Lovers just fade away |
But she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
Yeah she’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
She’s left with the shirt of a ghost |
