"Ghost On The Canvas" lyrics

"Ghost On The Canvas"
(originally by Paul Westerberg)

I know a place between
Life and death for you and me
Best take hold on the threshold of eternity
And see the ghost on the canvas
People don't see us
Ghost on the canvas
People don't know
When they're looking at soul

In between here and there
There's a place that we can grow
The spirits make love in a wheat field with crows
Like a ghost on a canvas
People don't see them
Ghost on a canvas
No, they never see soul

Ring around the rosary
Pocket full of prose you read
Ashes to ashes we all fall in love
With ghost on the canvas

We dream in color
Others they color their dreams
Takes one to know one
The spirit always knows when it's seen

Like a ghost on a canvas
Never can have us
Ghost on a canvas
It's the soul
That makes them go

People don't know
When they're looking in soul
Better take hold
I'm the ghost on the canvas
