Colin MeloyAbout
Like many Decemberists songs, “Your Ghost” deals with mortality. It is unusual, though, in that the narrator, the “Ghost,” is the concept of the listener’s mortality. The “Ghost” explains to the listener that it will always be present throughout their life until they finally, inevitably, die.
Your Ghost Lyrics
Along the old seawall
Inside the banquet hall
Below the cellar stair
Maybe you'll find me there
Your ghost, oh, your ghost
Your ghost
And when you take your rest
My weight upon your breast
And should you close your eyes
I'll still materialize
Your ghost, oh, your ghost
Your ghost
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
And at your final end
When you are free again
No longer long to be
You will belong to me
Your ghost, oh, your ghost
Oh, your ghost, oh, your ghost
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Your ghost, oh, your ghost
Ghost
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
