shadows

...

He went crazy at nineteen

Said hed lost all his self esteem

And couldnt understand why he was cry, cry, crying, cryyiiing...



He would stare at empty chairs

Think of the ghosts who once sat there

The ghosts that broke his heart.

Oh the ghosts that broke my heart

The ghosts that broke his heart

Oh the ghosts that broke my heart


The ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts

The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you



Lover, please do not

Fall to your knees

Its not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love



He says Im so lost,

Not at all well
...


Do as done and there was nothing left to be

Turned out Id been following him and he'd been following me

Do as done after it was over

We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulder



Lover, please do not

Fall to your knees

Its not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love





-Ghosts by Laura Marling

As I was reading, I felt that there should be a melody accompanying the words and then I got to the bottom and realized there was a reason for that!
I have never listened to Laura Marling (shame on me) but these lyrics are simply stunning.
