Dearest Emma, theres a ghost in our town
A ghost in the town from where you came
Dearest Emma, there are cracks in the wall
And voices in the hall that can't escape
Do you remember when we all were young
When we all were much younger than today?
And have you noticed all the signs on the road
Causing all who pass to know to please be safe?
And I won't keep quiet for the harm we've caused
And I can't read wrinkles on your face
And I don't have penance for the things I've done
I can't explain
There is a photo on the dash of our car
And if you want me
Like I want you
A slow escape of all that's made
Our purest, stolen virtue
And if you need me
Like I need you
Then that ghost that bore itself below
Wont bother me and, baby, won't bother you
