Gabriel Kahane & Brooklyn Rider - Come On All You Ghosts: I. The Prelude lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh This Diet Coke is really good Though Come to think of it It tastes like nothing Plus, the idea of chocolate Or an acquaintance of chocolate Speaking fondly of certain times Eating chocolate and spoken of nothing [Verse 2] Oh Nothing, remembering the field in which You once ate the most wondrous sandwich Of ham and rustic chamber cheese Yet still wished for a piece of chocolate For the long walk back through the corn Then the darkening forest To the disappointing village To the super creepy bed and breakfast With secret despair I returned to the city [Verse 3] Something seemed to be waiting for me Maybe the chosen [?] They would, even were it nothing better Than a wandering cloud Which, of course, for me and everyone Sounds amazing [Verse 4] Oh, laugh alone Is my own desire Sometimes to feel Sometimes to be at least a little more Than intermittently at ease with being loved [Verse 5] I'm never at ease Not without words I can't read or walk And look at the brightly colored houses Filled with lives Not with night When I lay on my back and listen [Verse 6] Not with the hallway Definitely not with baseball Definitely not with time [Verse 7] Poor cold witch Son of a vicar And a lake They could not find the energy No present joy or cheerful confidence Just love of friends And the wind's taking his air away [Verse 8] Come to the edge The edge, backwards softly Take this cup full of darkness And stay as long as you want And take me a little longer
