Jolie Holland - Ghost Waltz

Broken by the silence
That echoed in my heart
I couldn't help waving
When the waves rushed my way
And the world tilted over
I saw in my dreams
Things aren't the way
I hoped they would be

You are so kind to be civilized
Don't think that I haven't noticed
'Cause I've been too sad to think
And too sick to care But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air

I've been a ghost in houses I've loved
I've been a stranger to heaven above
But as for the world below
This is the one I know
My poor beloved home.

You are so kind to be civilized
Don't think that I haven't noticed
I've been too sad to think
And too sick to care
