[Nomad]

There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to, in our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever of the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams

Well, the Mississippi's mighty, and it starts in Minnesota
At a place where you can walk across, just five steps down.
I guess that's how you started, like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown

There's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals crossed and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
And when I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover and then you sting me like a viper
And I follow you to the river, play your memory like the piper

And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
But I would walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
Dance the edge of sanity I've never been this close
I'm in love with your ghost

Unknowing captor you'll never know how much you
Pierce my spirit but I can't touch you
Can you hear it a cry to be free
Oh I'm 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
I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels

This bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at most
I'm in love with your ghost
Yes, I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love......and you're shadowing my dreams
In love with your ghost
In love with your ghost
