Andrew London - When I Saw Your Ghost lyrics

This used to be a place I knew well This used to be a place that I called home But you lost your soul, went door to door That tired smile, I've seen it all before. Well, this used to be a place without silence Now apparitions fly out of the walls You tell yourself it's nothing and you step into the light But you don't forget. Oh, I can barely breathe Seeing you in front of me Not a prayer I believed When I saw your ghost. I flew across the ocean to begin again Some peace of mind, a place to lay my head You knew I'd give you anything Everything came pouring out instead. Yeah we try 'till our face goes numb And we won't stop 'till our work is done But we come home to an empty house Darling, did it end how it begun? Guess we should know better now I've been getting older, getting older Try as I might, I know still not any closer, any closer.
