devoted once upon a time (REVISED) Lyrics

There's a ghost

Standing on the corner

She claims to know your soul

She approaches and I tell myself

That ghosts have no control

But she tells me things only you would have known

She tells me of your fears

She tells me of your sorrows

She tells me of your dreams

And what you thought of tomorrow

There's a ghost

Standing on the corner

Who swears to know your soul

She tells me of your family

Of your days from old

What does she know of our gold

What kind of trickery is this

What kind of trickery is this

What kind

As she tells me of the steeple

And her voice sings to my mind

Her hands reach forth so lightly

With fingers that yearn to entwine

Why do they feel so familiar in mine

And hair that shines like gold

That smells of lavender and pine

As yours once did

I can't help but wonder

As she tells me all our tales

She tells me all our tales

And by God, I should have known

But you went away years ago
