[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Well, I don't wanna break the bones inside her
She's broke enough
And I don't wanna feel the cold inside her
She's cold enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Stoke up the fire with your sticks and stones
Stave off the night with your healing glow
Find a place to rest for your weary soul
[Chorus]
Mary, I've been where the restless go
I've never seen a thing look less like home
And I can never promise I can make you whole
Find a place to rest for your weary soul
Anything is better than living with ghosts
[Verse 2]
Carry it inside you
What you call home
Just wanna be the one who sits beside ya
When you're alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Put it in a letter and let it go
Some will stay forever sixteen years old
Everything you ever planned up in smoke
[Chorus]
Mary, I've been where the restless go
I've never seen a thing look less like home
And I can never promise I can make you whole
Find a place to rest for your weary soul
Anything is better than living with ghosts
[Bridge]
I'm not asking you to fight, ah, ooh
You've fought enough now for this life, ah, ooh
Just hope we get this right
So lay down your arms and fall into mine
[Chorus]
Mary, I've been where the restless go
I've never seen a thing look less like home
And I can never promise I can make you whole
Find a place to rest for your weary soul
Anything is better than living with ghosts
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Living With Ghosts was written by Dave McKendry.
Dave McKendry released Living With Ghosts on Fri Dec 21 2018.
Living with ghosts is something a lot of people do where I’m from. I wrote this song for my parents. In spite of everything they were up against they still managed to give me, my brother and my sister an incredible upbringing. I’ll never understand… And I’ll never be able to thank them enough.
