Ghosts of Jackson Square

Ghost on the streets today

Doorways of Jackson Square

In tinsel and tap shoes

Mardi Gras beads in her hair

And down to the graveyard

She wrung out her hands

As if he will meet her

All day she stands

So don't leave me

And I know you're justified

So don't leave me

'Cause a part of you in me died

We wish ourselves beautiful

And cry in the night

It's not the love you fear

But the fall from the height

Our personal ledges

Afraid to look down

My crepe paper bridges

Enough water to drown

So don't leave me

And I know you're justified

So don't leave me

'Cause a part of you in me died

And I see the lonely souls

Searchin'

But before the heartbreak grows

Draw the curtain

I'm a ghost on the streets today

Surrounded by eyes

I feel them peer through me

In my harlequin disguise

If it makes you feel better

Come and join me a while

There's love in my open arms

There's love in my spirit's smile

So don't leave me

And I know you're justified

So don't leave me

'Cause a part of you in me died
