go away ghost
in my dream you came to see me
now it hurts me to remember
in my arms the way you never
are you leaving me forever
in my dream you seemed to want me
I didn't mean to raise your spirit
even in my sleep you haunt me
with a feeling I'd forgotten
did you say you value knowing
even more than life or loving
is it leave that you are taking
toward the light that you are moving
ghost . . . go away ghost
harder hearts than mine have broken
charming words been better spoken
greater love than ours would falter
hoping for a better answer
now you've gone and left me wanting
out of reach of my desire
grasping at your apparition
come to settle some old bargain
did you find some understanding
letting go of life and living
shadow of yourself revealing
to the night you are embracing
ghost . . . go away ghost
in my dream you had to leave me
so prepared for your departure
made it all the more uncanny
when your tale came to the telling
page of pentacles reversed
dark herself the very mirror
she bore the most unhappy tidings
fate had set your soul to wander
now it's me you are condeming
someone had to go on living
I the fate I was deserving
once your memory I'm serving
ghost . . . go away ghost
did we learn more this time than the last
if not then we're doomed to repeat the past
