Laura Marling - Ghosts lyrics

He walked down the busy street

Staring solely at his feet

Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side

Stood at the table where she sat

And removed his hat

In respect of her presence

Presents her with the pictures and says

"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Opened up his little heart

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark

And read a written warning

Saying "I'm still mourning

Over ghosts

Over ghosts

Over ghosts

Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Lover, please do not

Fall to your knees

It's not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love

So he went crazy at nineteen

Said he'd lost all his self esteem

And couldn't understand why he was crying, crying

He would stare at empty chairs

Think of the ghosts that 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

It's not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love

He says "I'm so lost

Not at all well"

Ooh...

It was done when there was nothing left to be

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

It was done after it was over

We were just two lovers crying on each other's shoulder

Lover, please do not

Fall to your knees

It's not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love

Lover, please do not

Fall to your knees

It's not

Like I believe in

Everlasting love
