Spirits And Ghosts 歌詞

I see your life What a great aspiration To be loved as an object But never by name It's been one night Since August 11th The last time I ever Had to look at your face Now southbound I head for New Orleans Should be that easy to leave you behind But I see your ghost in my rear view Still dressed in white I drained every brown bottle I burned all the bones But the strongest of spirits can't kill off your ghost You were there the first time I ever got drunk You called me a liar and sent me home Now I use liquor To chase you away And drown out the sound of the last time I heard your name Now southbound I head for New Orleans Should be that easy to leave you behind But I see your ghost in my rear view Still dressed in white I drained every brown bottle I burned all the bones But the strongest of spirits can't kill off your ghost And I dug the grave But you made the bed I'll die peacefully knowing You lost all you had Claw your way up Open your eyes I hope what you see Gives you reason to cry And I dug the grave But you made the bed I'll die peacefully knowing You lost all you had Claw your way up Open your eyes I hope what you see Gives you reason to cry Now southbound I head for New Orleans Should be that easy to leave you behind But I see your ghost in my rear view Still dressed in white I drained every brown bottle I burned all the bones But the strongest of spirits can't kill off your ghost
