Lyrics

You keep me smiling in my sleep
My days of reckless affection done
I can't recall which one of us I am
And how it is that all of this began...
It has begun

I give up the ghost for you

Everything you do is painting
Pictures worth a thousand words or more
A thousand words that I will never know
A million more are dancing out the door

I give up the ghost for you
Crush and cover me
Deep in acres blue
Where the ghost I can give
Is the most I can give

I'll set a quiet place for you there
For when your appetite arrives
I'll take you for dinner
Yes, I'll take you forever

Here's where it all makes sense
Here's where we need to be
If only a thumbnail sketch
Nothing fancy

I give up the ghost for you
Crush and cover me
Deep in acres blue
Where the ghost I can give
Is the most I can give
Here's where it all makes sense
Here's the ghost I can give
