Your Ghost

Your Ghost – Kristin Hersh

If I walk down this hallway 

Tonight it's too quiet 

So I pad through the dark 

And call you on the phone 

Push your old numbers 

And let your house ring 

'Till I wake your ghost 

Let him walk down your hallway 

It's not this quiet 

Slide down your receiver 

Sprint across the wire 

Follow my number 

Slide into my hand 

It's the blaze across my nightgown 

It's the phone's ring 

I think last night 

you were driving circles around me 

I can't drink this coffee 

Till I put you in my closet 

Let him shoot me down 

Let him call me off 

I take it from his whisper

You're not that tough 

It's the blaze across my nightgown 

It's the phone's ring 

You were in my dream (I think last night) 

You were driving circles around me
