Lyrics Jakob Dylan – In The Arms Of A Ghost

I’d be the last one to know if you were always unhappy
First one who ever asked why
It was me you abandoned or have I imagined that you were ever mine?
It’s a black and white photo of you that I own

There’s a tap on my window and bird that comes in the evenings when I’m alone
As a shadow that crosses up over the ceiling above my bed below
No two angels are alike but I want to think that if that were you I’d know
Love is much worse off than blind in the arms of a ghost

Were your eyes the same kind of blue as the sea or more like the sky when it’s dawn?
Did your hair grow blonde by the end of the summer and you always wear it long?
Did you stay between cities in the wilderness where living wasn’t too much to bear?
Did you fall from a wire, through a pathway of fire that over would take you there?

There’s a light that appears up over the buildings before the other ones
Vanishes once it’s been noticed returning back to where it’s from
No two stars are alike but I want to think that if that were you I’d know
Love is much worse off than blind in the arms of a ghost

In the night do you bow with your head down and ask God to be there with you?
And if you do, why won’t you ask him why I can’t be there too?
Are you laughing or crying? Is there somebody there, someone that you want near?
These thoughts of you, they lie down deep where there aren’t any tears
In my sleep I can hear the voice of a woman that’s beautiful and young
Saying: «do understand you’re none of the reasons why I am gone»
No two dreams are alike but I want to think that if that were you I’d know
Love is much worse off than blind in the arms of a ghost
Love is much worse off than blind in the arms of a ghost
