Ghost Songtext
von Rissi Palmer

Oh, mother, they say I′m nothing like you
Patron Saint of wayward kin
Pure of heart and void of sin
Were you human, just playing at perfection
Did you think you were to blame?
Atoning for your guilt and shame

No, I'm not carrying your cross
I can′t give that kind of help
You died trying to save everyone
I'm just trying to save myself

Ooh, I want you and not your ghost
Oh, no, no
Ooh, I want you and not your ghost

Oh, mother, it's cold here in your shadow
A loving light, I long to find
Dimmed before I felt it shine
Your pictures like lookin′ in a mirror
You′re a stranger with my eyes
Gave me life but no goodbye


But you're not carrying my cross
I can′t get that kind of help
You died trying to save everyone
I'm just trying to save myself

Ooh, I want you and not your ghost
Oh, no, no
Ooh, I want you and not your ghost
Oh, no, no

I want your love, I want your hugs
Want your time, your flesh and blood
Want the you I′ll never know
I want you and not your ghost
Want your love, I want your hugs
Want your time, your flesh and blood
Want the you I'll never know
I want you and not your ghost

No, I′m not carrying your cross
I can't give that kind of help
You died trying to save everyone
Oh, I'm just trying to save myself


Ooh, I want you and not your ghost
Oh, no, no
Ooh, I want you and not your ghost
Oh, no, no

I want your love (Ooh), I want your hugs
Want your time, your flesh and blood
Want the you I′ll never know
I want you and not your ghost
Want your love (Ooh), I want your hugs (Oh, mother)
Want your time, your flesh and blood
Want the you I′ll never know
I want you and not your ghost
