Lyrics
GHOST STORIES Shannon Brennan, Kat Devlin Lying awake I hear you crying I feel your body sign and I don’t ask why Don’t want to make you lie Can’t reach out, can’t speak aloud Can’t name your ghosts to drive them out You won’t seek and I won’t find And I wonder if you know that I wondered weeks ago And I understand you know you had too much to say But you came, you plundered slow, not like thunder more like snow You broke into my home and spoke my thoughts away In our bed of new beginnings You made newer endings, newer names To older nights and days Wine in hand in all your glory Wooing strangers, changing stories Changing me, but what of you remains And I wonder if you know that I wondered weeks ago And I understand you know you had too much to say But you came, you plundered slow, not like thunder more like snow You broke into my home and spoke my thoughts away Either you had more to tell than live Or you had more to live than tell Either I, I don’t know you at all Or I know you much too, much too well And I wonder if you know you lost me weeks ago And I understand you know you had too much to say But you came, you plundered slow, not like thunder more like snow You broke into my home and spoke yourself away
