lyrics

Her heart's no longer beating, though she's still walking around.
Laying down for a nap, I know she's out on the town.
And when I wake, I'll catch a glimpse
Of her dress or hair in the half-light,
But when I move to touch her hand, she's gone again.

A note on the door reminds me of what I want to forget
There's a face and words and pain in ballpoint ink
And when I sit here, I don’t see it
Not a blur in my periphery
But when I get up to track her down, she’s gone again.

Turn the pictures to the wall, and cover all the mirrors
The only face I need is on my mind
The memory is going, but the hurt is always fresh
Each time I think on her she's gone again
She's gone again

Passed away, but not passed on, she flutters through my heart
Dusting off the past in a haunted house
Is it all just a delusion, or does her spirit walk these walls?
Either way, to me, she’s gone again

Keep your doppelganger phantoms, and your weight upon the sheets
The only ghost I need is on my mind
The memory is going, but the hurt is always fresh
Each time I think on her she's gone again
She's gone again
