Lyrics for Sea of Ghosts
I dream you in our old life High up on a hill Reading poems by the firelight Looking younger still Your notes are in the margins Your shadow's in the mirror If you're looking for a love that lasts You can haunt me here Oh Meet me in the coming night Find me on the trail Whispering my ancient vows Under green boughs and ivory veil Ankle deep in water Walking up the riverbed Singing my song of supplication For to steal you from the dead Oh, oh Hm Time will tear the petals From the sweetest rose I will cut my silvering braids And bring them to the crows For to meet you in the morning For to reach for you in bed If you're searching in a sea of ghosts I'm the girl who's wearing red For to meet you in the morning For to reach for you in bed If you're searching in a sea of ghosts I'm the girl who's wearing red Oh, oh
