lyrics

Seventeen…
too young to know much better
so you drop your crosses and
step over your fallen sisters

Grasp your flames
And keep the embers deep in your pocket

Own your dreams
and fill his casket with your flowers

Stand alone…
but don't ever leave out through the back door

The Truth
What would it do?
It’s the ghost inside you
You're so blue… So blue

Back then our love was easy
What’s gone is never free
That’s what it's like livin’ with a ghost

We took the time to look back now
What’s promised is always a vow
That’s what it's like livin’ with a ghost

So I return
to her blue shrine every Autumn
and pass my memories
besieged with her forsaken sorrows
and on days when it does get dark
sometimes the clouds will drift apart
nails claw through the canvas rain
painted with cigarettes stains
She stands alone…

but never leaves through the screen door

The Truth
What would it do?
It’s the ghost inside you
You're so blue…

So blue
