I’m Just a Ghost in This House

Alison Krauss

Verse

I don't pick up the mail I don't pick up the phone

I don't answer the door I just 'soon be alone

I don't keep this place up I just keep the lights out

I don't live in this room I just rattle around

Chorus

I'm just a ghost in this house I'm just a shadow upon these walls

As quietly as a mouse I hold this home I'm just a whisper of smoke

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire That once burned out of control

You took my body and soul I'm just a ghost in this house

Verse

I don't care if it rains I don't care if it's clear

I don't mind staying in there's another ghost here

He sits down in your chair and he shines with your light

And he lays down his head on your pillow at night
