Love Your Ghost
Eternal Breath: Embracing Love Beyond Life's Veil
Lyrics
Right now I need you close
Expressing a current strong desire for proximity.
That’s all I really know I need
Acknowledging a fundamental need for something.
Your breath within my throat
Describing a close and intimate connection through breath.
I’ve borrowed and I hold it deep
Having taken and embraced a significant part of someone.
We share a lifetime
Highlighting a shared existence throughout a lifetime.
Bound up and intertwined yet free
Describing a connection that is both bound and free.
I’m yours and you are mine
Declaring mutual ownership and commitment.
Like lungs keeping time we breathe
Comparing the relationship to synchronized breathing.
Don’t ever leave me
Expressing a fear of separation.
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Reiterating the need for closeness.
Well if you leave me
Considering the possibility of being left.
Then I’ll just love your ghost
Expressing a commitment to love even in absence.
I will love your ghost
Reaffirming the intention to love a departed presence.
I’m reaching in the dark
Expressing a reaching or searching in the unknown.
Blind hands can find your heart beneath
Believing that love can be found despite challenges.
Tonight can come apart
Acknowledging the possibility of separation tonight.
I break but here you are with me
Recognizing the enduring presence of the loved one.
Don’t ever leave me
Repeating the plea to avoid departure.
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Emphasizing the ongoing need for closeness.
Well if you leave me
Revisiting the fear of being left.
Then I’ll just love your ghost
Reaffirming the commitment to love a departed presence.
I will love your ghost
Reiterating the intention to love a ghostly presence.
Don’t ever leave me
Repeating the plea for everlasting presence.
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Emphasizing the ongoing need for closeness.
Well if you leave me
Revisiting the fear of being left.
Then I’ll just love your ghost
Reaffirming the commitment to love a departed presence.
