The ghost of you is everywhere I imagine you walking in the room I smell your scent by the stairs I can hear your gravelly laughter boom Every time I speak aloud it echoes all around you're not here I am alone no one else to be found This place is like a graveyard a lonely tomb long after dark where I sit with our memories as my emotions begin to spark A whimper crawls up my throat all I can do is stupidly stare to hold my body still Oh how I wish you were here! You could make me safe and warm sheltering heart and kindly song so strong against these storms but this time you are gone The ghost of you is everywhere I might just tear this house apart which seems sensible and useless to heal the hole inside my heart Wait a minute, I've heard a sound so my voice cries into the void laying bare all this tight betrayal as very loudly I am paranoid Hold on, a key slides in the lock my anguish is stilled but brief but then I am angry to be disturbed in the middle of all my grief Quickly I run to the door but my hurt explodes to purest joy I jump right into your arms as you exclaim, "Who's a good boy!"

Whimpers In The Dark
The ghost of you is everywhere I imagine you walking in the room I smell your scent by the stairs I can hear your gravelly laughter boom Every time I speak aloud it echoes all around you're not here I am alone no one else to be found This place is like a graveyard a lonely tomb long after dark where I sit with our memories as my emotions begin to spark A whimper crawls up my throat all I can do is stupidly stare to hold my body still Oh how I wish you were here! You could make me safe and warm sheltering heart and kindly song so strong against these storms but this time you are gone The ghost of you is everywhere I might just tear this house apart which seems sensible and useless to heal the hole inside my heart Wait a minute, I've heard a sound so my voice cries into the void laying bare all this tight betrayal as very loudly I am paranoid Hold on, a key slides in the lock my anguish is stilled but brief but then I am angry to be disturbed in the middle of all my grief Quickly I run to the door but my hurt explodes to purest joy I jump right into your arms as you exclaim, "Who's a good boy!"
