This song is a lament at how hard it is sometimes to walk the hard and narrow path of faith in a broken world toward heaven and how – even though it’s worth it – it’s tempting to just give up and wish to be in heaven already.

Blanket of Ghosts Lyrics
[verse]
I've got a feeling, it's hard to explain
Feels like the devil rents a room in my brain
The things I'm ashamed of, feel like dear old St. Paul
The things that I want to do, I don't do at all
[Chorus]
So bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts
[verse]
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is so weak
I wanna kiss your lips, but I kiss your cheek
Hear my request, give this one unfair way
Please take me home before it's too late
[Chorus]
Bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts
[bridge]
Wake me when it's springtime in heaven
The tears are all wiped from my face
Wake me when it's springtime in heaven
When I'm strong enough to walk in that place
[Chorus]
So bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts
[bridge]
Wake me when it's springtime in heaven
The tears are all wiped from my face
Wake me when it's springtime in heaven
When I'm strong enough to walk in that place
