"My Lonely Ghost" lyrics

Where have you been, my lonely ghost?
With your bloody cheeks and starry eyes
I'd like to keep you safe - but when I try
You always seem to realize that I'm still alive
Inside of a building filled with flames
Where all your pieces fell like rain
While all the children slept at home
Their mothers cried when you became
My lonely ghost

And you spilled your little tears across the ocean-colored sky
When you knew the time had come to let the light inside of you die
And you asked, "Why?"

Now you're in fields of debris
Your ashes growing with the weeds
And in my dreams I bury you in a better place
Where all the bluebirds sing
Where all the bluebirds sing

I'll paint my heart in spirals on a mountainside with you in mind
Your little cries so clear to me that when I sleep, it's you I see
And it makes me cry

Flying pianos crash into the lakes
With your mothers' eyes, your father's name
Now I never sleep, I only dream
While in my bed you rush to me
Run off and catch your better days
Where the sun kisses your little face
And you smile for me

I'll never leave you, lonely ghost
I know you're feeling left behind
Only when your little spirit flies in clouds of smoking waves, I will say goodbye
I will say goodbye
