Ghost Life Songtext
von Bowerbirds

At the margins of the land I get to know your skin
Where the sand dunes slope into a wild ocean
Where the great plain heats into a jagged mountain
I feel your heart swell with a ghostlike peer
So magnificent

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And yet, some days we are stone′s cold and stuck
Whether in time or place or head or heart
But dear, we'll never feel the years with the wind at our backs
And we can live our days in a ghostlike peer
So magnificent


Oh, blood, ocean blood
Saltic blood flows like torrents from our hearts
And knows just what it wants
Love, shapeless love
Wide tireless love
Fast in the free ether
Ghostly wide, and seething up

Sky, oceanside
Dark mirror shine
Swift through the backs of our eyes
Deep wanting eyes

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
