Ghost in the Town - Joshua James

Dearest Claire, there’s a ghost in town

A ghost in the town from where you came

Dearest Claire there are cracks in the wall

And voices in the hall you can’t escape

Can you remember when we all were young,

All of us younger than today.

Have you noticed all those times on the road

Cuz all who passed it over please be safe

And I won’t keep quiet for with all of my heart

And I can’t read wrinkles on your face

And I don’t have penance for the things I’ve done

I can’t explain.

There is a photo on the dash of our car

That has recently gone?

from all the sun

Could you imagine if our skin?

Would the world just be a part of what we’ve done?

Dearest Claire, there’s a ghost in town

A ghost in the town from where you came

And all the nights that the dog would bark

You stare at the wall, a crying shame

There’s a crack in the center of a kitchen floor

I’m curious no one could destroy

As I reach my hand into the dark below

I hear your voice

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

If you want me like I want you

A slow escape our law has made

A purist’s stolen virtues

And if you need me like I need you

Then our ghost?

Won’t bother me and babe, it won’t bother you.
