Simon Shackleton - Ghost

In the space between the lives
a fading heartbeat still survives.
Didn’t come to exorcise
your bleeding heart, your ancient lies …
I think I came to throw it down
before we’re laying in the ground.
Why not stay and talk awhile -
Maybe we can reconcile?
Reconcile?
I am yours and you are mine,
lost in space and out of time.
I didn’t come to demonise,
to patronise or jeapordise ..
I just came to see your face,
to hold you in your hiding place.
Out of sight and out of mind
like a ghost you left behind,
left behind …
You left behind.
I didn’t come to exorcise
your bleeding heart, your ancient lies …
I think I came to throw it down
before we’re laying in the ground.
Why not stay and talk awhile -
maybe we can reconcile?
Out of sight and out of time
like a ghost you left behind…
you’ve left behind,
you left behind …
the ghost you left behind …
the ghost you left behind …
Ghost you left behind.
