Lyrics Jolie Holland

Jolie Holland

Ghost Waltz

Broken by the silence that echoed in my heart

I couldn't help waving when the waves rushed my way

And the world tilted over, I saw in my dreams

Things aren't the way, I hoped they would be

You are so kind to be civilized

Don't think that I haven't noticed

I've been too sad to think and too sick to care

But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air

I've been a ghost in houses I've loved

I've been a stranger to heaven above

But as for the world below, this is the one I know

My poor beloved home
