sweet ghost of light, when you appear

you fall around me, everywhere

i see your face as you pass by

as fragile as a dragonfly

you jab me in the kidneys like

a compass or an iron spike

but i can't help believing you

because i love the things you do



sweet ghost of light, i've lived too long

i'd die for you inside this song

the sweetest death that i can dream

like petals flowing down a stream

that turn to blood, as they dissolve

it's all around you i revolve



sweet ghost of light, you'll never fade

by nothing else are you betrayed

you fill me 'til i'm empty and

you empty me like grains of sand

i love you more than anyone

beneath the moon, beneath the sun
