LYRICS

There's a knocking at my window

Not two for yes but one for no

Some spirit is unsatisfied

From watching her world spin out of control

At night she goes walking around her old home

Objecting to how it's all changed

She prefers her arrangements to the ones which we made

Walking the ghost

This baggage on my shoulders

Making me stoop, bending my frame

My neck is crocked lopsided

I will never be tall again

At night she goes walking around her old home

You can feel so much sadness locked up in her bones

I can feel so much sadness locked up in her bones

Walking my ghost

I'm sensitive to unkindness

Stab in the back burn in the ribs

I need your fingers to straighten my flesh

I hope your fingers are kind

Hope... fingers...

Walking the ghost, walking the ghost, walking the ghost

Walking the ghost, walking the ghost

I can feel someone is with me now

Willing me on

Whispering advice Poking my back

Singing prophecies

Weird shadows

Words on a breeze

I'm picking up, I'm picking up

I'm picking up your message

And I'm trying to mend

With all the noise around here

I can't hear any clearer

I can't stop my head from ringing

And there's fingers in my hair

Stroking my neck

Lifting up my skin

Shifting skin, shifting skin

Shedding my skin

And I'm leaving it behind

I'm leaving it behind

And I'm walking my ghost

I am walking my ghost

My ghost
