Gretchen Peters Ghost
there was a girl who used to live here
sometimes you still can hear her laugh
see her planting in the garden
see her soaking in the bath
but you let her beauty go unnoticed
you let her music go unheard
you should have listened when she told you
you should have hung on every word
now i'm a ghost, i haunt this house
and wait for love to lift this shroud
take these withered dreams and let 'em go
i'm a ghost, i'm what remains
i walk these halls and curse these chains
and think about the things i loved the most
i'm a ghost
if i was looking for redemption
well i know it isn't here
and i won't hang around forever
so you can watch me disappear
so now i'm stuck here in this limbo
waiting for my soul's release
maybe a garden of my own somewhere
where i can find a little peace
it's much too late for blame
but would it have killed you to say my name?
i'm a ghost...
