Lullaby For A Ghost

"Lullaby For A Ghost"
Copyright 2006, David Condos

You're just the ghost in the next room
That taps on the wall when I'm trying to sleep
You should be out haunting young fools
Who are more inclined to believe

Now close your eyes
Before the night turns to day
And hear a lullaby
Sung for a wraith

Love, I can see you now
With a trembling mouth
I won't leave you now

I was a bough veiled in your yellow
But even the most ravishing leaf
Can only be held for a season
No matter how sincere the tree

Favored I am to have eyed you in red
Inspiring a lullaby
Sung for the dead

Love, I can see you now
With your eyelids down
Don't leave me now
