Emilie Autumn

Ghost,
Did you know sometimes it frightens me
when you say my name and I cant see you
will you ever learn to materialize before you speak
impetuous boy, if thats what you really are
how many centuries since youve climbed a balcony
or do you do this every night with someone else
you tell me that you never leave
and I am almost afraid to believe it
why is it me youve chosen to follow
did you like the way I look when I am sleeping
was my hair more fun to tangle
are my dreams more entertaining
do you laugh when Im complaining that Im all alone
where were you when I searched the sea
for a friend to talk to me
in a year where will you be
is it enough for you to steal into my mind
filling up my page with music written in my hand
you know Ill take the credit for I must have made you come to me somehow
but please try to close the curtains when you leave at night
or Ill have to find someone to stay and warm me
will you always attend my midnight tea parties
as long as I set your place
if one day your sugar sits untouched
will you have gone forever
would you miss me in a thousand years
when you will dry anothers tears
but you say youll never leave me
and I wonder if youll have the decency
to pass through my wall to the next room
while I dress for dinner
but when Im stuck in conversation
with stuffed shirts whose adoration
hurts my ears, where are you then
cant you cut in when I dance with other men
its too late not to interfere with my life
youve already made me a most unsuitable wife
for any man who wants to be the first his bride has slept with
and you cant just fly into peoples bedrooms
then expect them to calmly wave goodbye
youve changed the course of history
and didnt even try
where are you now
standing behind me
taking my hand
come and remind me
who you are
have you traveled far
are you made of stardust too
are the angels after you
tell me what I am to do
but until then Ill save your side of the bed
just come and sing me to sleep
