David Wimbish - A Ghost and a Scale lyrics

The ever gracious sun wrapped the rays of its light 'round your dancing body As I sat, quiet as morning, on Crow Creek Hill We did not speak of love, no, it built like a static between our folly These moments used to hold me like a windowsill But it feels just like a ghost now I can see right through this life somehow The ever gracious blood dripped down like coffee from a cross in the cathedral People nail their guilt to its arms like a prize Then the choir stood and sang out a collective apology on speed dial A return to the chorus could open up our eyes But I sing just like a ghost now I can see right through this life somehow And I sleep straight through the waves that crash against our bow It's amazing that we've made it this far Between the storms and time it takes to see the shore Well, I've been weighing my options, they keep breaking my scales And you've been letting the dogs in, sheltering them from the hail And the truth that I found was true in the time that I needed But that same truth skipped town the second it saw that my wound would not stop bleeding
