Ghosts Songtext
von Martin Briley

Don′t know what I was looking for
But I seem to find it all in you
Forget the past, we'll close that door
Whatever you′ve been through
We said there'd be no secrets
No skeletons under the bed
No little sudden surprises
From the colorful lives that we led

You say you love me, you kiss me goodnight
I know that everything should be alright

But the ghosts of your former lovers
Still haunt me in my sleep
I've been counting them instead of counting sheep
Don′t know why but it seems
That the ghosts of your former lovers
Keep coming back to me
I don′t understand but it feels like jealousy
If it's only a dream


Then in the cold daylight
You′ll be lying there for me

Maybe then they'll go away
But they′ll be back eventually

You always say that the others
Were just water under the bridge
But there were moments stuck on your body
And madness to the fridge

You say you love me and you kiss me goodnight
I know that everything should be alright

But the ghosts of your former lovers
Still haunt me now and then
And I hate to think of you with one of them
Don't know why but it seems
That the ghosts of your former lovers
Will never let me be
Was there something you gave them you don′t give me?


But it's only a dream
There's not a single detail
That I don′t know about
But you are still like a drug
That I could never live without

You say you love me and you kiss me goodnight
And for a little while I′ll be alright

Until the ghosts of your former lovers
Start coming back to me
I don't understand but it feels like jealousy
Don′t know why but it seems
That the ghosts of your former lovers
Will never let me be
Was there something you gave them you don't give me?

And I don′t want to dream
About the ghosts of your former lovers
The ghosts of your former lovers
Ooh, the ghosts of your former lovers
