Ghost - Emilie Autumn

Did you know

Sometimes it frightens me

When you say my name

And I can’t see you

Will you ever learn to materialize

Before you speak

Impetuous boy

If that’s what you really are

How many centuries

Since you’ve climbed a balcony

Or do you do this every night

With someone else

You tell me that you never leave

And I am almost afraid

To believe it

Why is it me

You’ve chosen to follow

Did you like the way I look

When I am sleeping

Was my hair more fun to tangle

Are my dreams more entertaining

Do you laugh

When I’m complaining

That I’m all alone

Where were you

When I searched the sea

For a friend to talk to me

In a year

Where will you be

Is it enough

For you to steal into my mind

Filling up my page with

Music written in my hand

You know I’ll take the credit

For I must have made you come to me somehow

But please

Try to close the curtains

When you leave at night

Or I’ll have to find someone

To stay and warm me

Will you always attend my midnight tea parties

As long as I set your place

If one day

Your sugar sits untouched

Will you have gone forever

Would you miss me

In a thousand years

When you will dry

Another’s tears

But you say

You’ll never leave me

And I wonder if you’ll have the decency

To pass through my wall

To the next room

While I dress for dinner

But when I’m stuck in conversation

With stuffed shirts

Whose adoration

Hurts my ears

Where are you then

Can’t you cut in

When I dance with other men

It’s too late

Not to interfere with my life

You’ve already made me

A most unsuitable wife

For any man who wants to be the first

His bride has slept with

And you can’t just fly into people’s bedrooms

Then expect them to calmly wave goodbye

You’ve changed the course of history

And didn’t even try

Where are you now

Standing behind me

Taking my hand

Come

And remind me

Who you are

Have you traveled far

Are you made of stardust too

Are the angels after you

Tell me

What I am to do

But until then

I’ll save your side of the bed

Just come

And sing me to sleep
