Bob Tilton - Ghost lyrics

A healing gaze distracted A clown face blurred in water You ride your wave well (you losing definition) A healing gaze distracted A down stream smile running red Ride your wave well I smeared your face with my blood You swore you had tasted this before I'm spread so thin my colours bleed to one Now I don't stand Both feet bled, now I don't stand anymore I felt your ghost move within Take shape and shift beneath the skin And whisper: "Black eyes are only a kiss away Take up the floorboards to get Closer to the bone and find How the past will not Play dead anymore." She reads aloud from letters that were Never thrown away And paints my house with all the crimson Shades of recollection I smeared my face with your blood And swore I liked the taste I brought you to the water's edge And I held you under I'll keep a graveside vigil But you're not coming back are you?
