Alison Krauss - A Ghost In This House

I don't pick up the mail


I don't pick up the phone


I don't answer the door


I'd just as soon be alone


I don't keep this place up


I just keep the lights down


I don't live in these rooms


I just rattle around





I'm just a ghost in this house


I'm just a shadow upon these walls


As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls


I'm just a whisper of smoke


I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire


That once burned out of control


You took my body and soul


I'm just a ghost in this house





I don't care if it rains


I don't care if it's clear


I don't mind staying in


There's another ghost here


He sits down in your chair


And he shines with your light


And he lays down his head


On your pillow at night





I'm just a ghost in this house


I'm just a shadow upon these walls


I'm living proof of the damage


Heartbreak does


I'm just a whisper of smoke


I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire


That once burned out of control


And took my body and soul


I'm just a ghost in this house


Oh, I'm just a ghost in this house
