Two Ghosts

by The Finches

on Human Like A House (2007)

We'll stand like two ghosts by the road
Hitchin' a ride
Watch how the blue follows
As you float by my side

Darlin' where've you been
My feet were starting to fade
The road is old
He's going home
And you're late

We'll bray like two goats
Down the road
Shamefully slow
Watch how the stars that burn
Flicker and fade
Then suddenly fall

Darlin', where've you been?
My bones were thrown in the lake
The moon is cold
She's rowing home
And you're late

We'll meet once more
Upon that shore
To pull the sky out smooth as sheets
For ghosts clatter and crash
Water teems like widening streams
Forms roads that we can take back

We'll row like two boats
Out past the road
And into the night

Masts and our sails billow
You've arrived
So I'm alright

And we will ride again
The road, the ocean
The sky is wide
And seems to be openin'
