Sweet Ghost of Light - Robyn Hitchcock

Sweet ghost of light, when you appear

You fall around me, everywhere

I see your face as you pass by

As fragile as a dragonfly

You jab me in the kidneys like

A compass or an iron spike

But I can’t help belief in you

Because I love the things you do

Sweet ghost of light, I’ve lived too long

I’d die for you inside this song

The sweetest death that I can dream

Like petals flowing down a stream

That turn to blood, as they dissolve

It’s all around you I revolve

Sweet ghost of light, you’ll never fade

By nothing else are you betrayed

You fill me 'til I’m empty and

You empty me like grains of sand

I love you more than anyone

Beneath the moon, beneath the sun
