Ghosts Songtext
von Laura Marling

He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat in respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying "I′m still mourning over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Lover, please do not fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in everlasting love


So, he went crazy at 19
Said he′d lost all his self-esteem
And couldn't understand why he was crying
Cry-crying, crying

He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh, the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh, the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in everlasting love

He says "I′m so lost
Not at all well"

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

After it was done when there was nothing left to be
Turned out I′d been following him and he'd been following me
After it was done after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each other′s shoulder


Lover, please do not fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in everlasting love
Lover, please do not fall to your knees
It′s not like I ever believed in everlasting love
