The Ghost of You Lingers

The Ghost of You Lingers - Spoon

Written by：Britt Daniel

If you were here

Would you calm me down

Or settle the score

The feelings I fight

I'm a stranger in town

Burn so bright

But if you were here

The feelings I fight

Would you ease my mind

Come on

The sleep fled from my eyes

And I

I know that I need some

Give a thought to the one that you know

Ooo

Or would you calm me down

When the breath gets shallow and fast

We put on the clinic

If you were here

It felt good to me

Would you calm me down

Can't you see I'm losing it

Or settle the score

Must I set up the scene

The man asleep knockup

I see it

They're all alive

Yeah

The ghost of you lingers

Put on a clinic till we hit the wall

Just like a sailor with his wounds being salted

Come on

I had a nightmare nothing could be put back together

My life

So light

Would you settle the score

If you were here

Would you calm me down

The ghost of you lingers

It lingers

And I always think about it

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Would you calm me down
