Lyrics

Closed doors swing open, the floorboards creak
Crooked pictures right themselves, I never want to leave
All the little memories, that will not be put away
everyday's a test of faith

You're a ghost in this house

Down in the basement, up on the third
I feel your presence, I hear your words
You know when to calm me, with a whisper in my ear
Exactly what I need to hear

You're a ghost in this house

I finally fall asleep and have the same dream every night
I want you to tell me everything will be alright
Is this all in my mind, or did you leave me behind?

There is a mirror, I can not bear to use
Afraid to see my face, because then I'll know the truth
Never opened up your dressing room,
Never sorted through your clothes
A sacred place where time just froze

You're a ghost in this house

I finally fall asleep I have the same dream every night
I want you to tell me you will stay until the light
Is this all in my mind, or did you leave me behind?

You gave me comfort in my greatest time of need
But now I'm back on solid ground, I can step outside this grief
I can feel my strength returning, I can make it on my own
But you have nowhere else to go

You're a ghost in this house
