Ghosts Are Good Company - Bishop Allen

I would’ve died

Just to hear voices

Just to see faces

I was so alone

I went deep

Into my graveyards

Found my ghosts there

They’re with me still

I can’t do this, I can’t do that

I can’t believe I go so fat

At least ghosts are good company

I can’t believe it is so cold

I should get up before I get old

And then I’ll change my ways

Before my ways change me

I was afraid

Afraid of the emptiness

Afraid of the silence

Afraid of my ghosts

Now they’re here

We can share laughter

Talk about old times

It’s not so bad

Now the world

Is suddenly wonderful

And I think:

Hey, I can live here again

Well these ghosts

They will not leave me

But they’re the best company

That I’ve ever had
