Who's that ghost swimming in your pocket
Changing your face from white to blue
Does she know she's still here
Lingering with you
I've counted all the times you've woken
Covered in the ashes that fell from your cigar
I understand, she's still here
In between the stars
We know how this'll end
The prayers of God and mice and men
Can only do so much to save
You from the voice beneath the waves
Freetown left you shaking slowly
As you sank into the lighthouse walls
Where's your light, its hallowed sight
That kept you from the fall
We know how this'll end
The prayers of God and mice and men
Can only do so much to save
You from the voice beneath the waves
I don't know if you can hear me
Maybe you might slightly fear me
Trampled till your breathing falters
By the angel in Gibraltar
There's a ghost burning through your pocket
But something tells me you don't mind
But you and I, are still alive
At least for a time
