The Crane Wives - Not The Ghost lyrics

Oh, turn your lamps down low, Keep the light so dim that you can't see What's out there ahead of you. My dear, there are secrets here-- I will carry them home, Carry them home If only I could break The chain of disappointments weighing me down, Shake off the ghosts That whisper warnings whenever you're not around. (You're not around) But I won't be afraid Of all the things I've wanted-- It's the fear And not the ghost That leaves me haunted, haunted See what a life you lead: You're an anchor for all the heaviest Regrets inside of you. Escape-- we collect mistakes-- I will carry them home, Carry them home If only I could break The chain of disappointments weighing me down, Shake off the ghosts That whisper warnings whenever you're not around. (You're not around) But I won't be afraid Of all the things I've wanted-- It's the fear And not the ghost That leaves me haunted, haunted
