Conversations With Ghosts - Bear's Den

You needn’t be a chamber

To house all the echoes and voices of those that have left you

Are you talking to me or somebody that you once knew

Passing through?

Do we talk anymore or do our voices

Dance around themselves in circles

Till we can’t hear a damn thing?

We’re still as stone but our shadows are dancing upon the wall

Oh, if you ever get tired of your conversations with ghosts

And all those that you let too close

I’ll be waiting

And I’ll go swimming in the caves

In the sparkle in your eyes

They’re just the tears you don’t let yourself cry

Trying so hard to say goodbye

Precious little mercies

As I stumble between the pillars of this worn-out hacienda

In the moonlight

Sometimes it takes a storm to appreciate the still night

Don’t let the darkness in

And your voice just raging

But how can i protect you from what happened to you then

What’s already been?

I can’t give you the words that really should have come from him

Baby, I’m showing you my hand

Oh, if you ever get tired of your conversations with ghosts

And all those that you let too close

I’ll be waiting

And I’ll go swimming in the caves

In the sparkle in your eyes

They’re just the tears you don’t let yourself cry

Trying so hard to say goodbye
