If you are in the grieving process for a marriage or relationship that has ended, this song portrays the depth of sadness that only those that have experienced true love and lost it can feel. Brought to life by the crystal clear vocals of Alison Krauss:
I don’t pick up the mail
I don’t pick up the phone
I don’t answer the door
I’d just soon be alone
I don’t keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don’t live in these rooms
I just rattle around
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls
I’m just a whisper of smoke
I’mm all that’s left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I’m just a ghost in this house
I don’t care if it rains
I don’t care if it’s clear
I don’t mind stayin’ in
There’s another ghost here
He sits down in your chair
And he shines with your light
And he lays down his head
On your pillow at night
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls
I’m just a whisper of smoke
I’mm all that’s left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I’m just a ghost in this house
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I’m just a ghost in this house

YoungJeezy (2 days ago) My music director taught me (and I quote,) "Music will NEVER let you down." That man showed me what true love is by teaching me about music. Some people get it, others have to break it down into math for it to make sense and the rest I guess I feel sorry for. I do the same thing on Myspace... all of my blogs are just different songs with much deeper meaning behind the words that appear sometimes simple or trite on the page. Allison Krauss has one of those voices that can take you into an emotion or envelope you in empathy while you weepingly wonder how she sang the song without even a quiver in her voice. Anyway, just wanted to acknowledge your appreciation for music and let you know that IT is appreciated. lol.
