Oh, every now and then, I get a little bit sad

Between awake and asleep, I dream of what we never had

The whisper of a child that got away

Give your mama a rose from my bouquet

Ghost ghost, an ache in my chest

Still hurts the most, how could it be for the best and

Ghost ghost, you took a piece of me

But the Lord knows it was yours to keep

A week later I was leaving with some things still left unsaid

Machines and anesthesia, and the opaque look of a hospital bed

I did some drinking, I'm not gonna lie

Trying to move on, trying to make it all right

Ghost ghost, an ache in my chest

Still hurts the most, how could it be for the best and

Ghost ghost, you took a piece of me but

Lord knows it was yours to keep

It is yours to keep now

It is yours to keep now

It is yours to keep now

And it's time to sleep now (as I lay me down)

Ghost ghost, an ache in my chest

Still hurts the most, how could it be for the best and

Ghost ghost, you took a piece of me

But the Lord knows it was yours to keep

And it's yours to keep now
