The Gourds - Ghosts of Hallelujah lyrics
[The Gourds - Ghosts of Hallelujah lyrics]
Our candles are in danger from
The way we carry them
So keep yer matches handy and
Wait to see if when
The ghosts of hallelujah trickle
Through the walls
Brandishing the wrong words nail the
Cursings in the hall
The ghosts of hallelujah leave
You there alone
Counting bottles of medicine and
Longing for yer home
Don't forget the hands that made you
Don't forget yer lonely days
And soak yer heart in clover
Anytime you feel it sway
"I've got no harmless longings" at
Least that's what she said
As night came even closer to the
Bare hips of my bed
So temptation sings a slow song and
Wraps yer lust in shame
The women take on new lives as
You swagger with the lame
The ghosts of hallelujah leave
You there alone
Counting bottles of medicine and
Longing for yer home
Don't forget the hands that made you
Don't forget yer lonely days
And soak yer heart in clover
Anytime you feel it sway
The way we carry them
So keep yer matches handy and
Wait to see if when
The ghosts of hallelujah trickle
Through the walls
Brandishing the wrong words nail the
Cursings in the hall
The ghosts of hallelujah leave
You there alone
Counting bottles of medicine and
Longing for yer home
Don't forget the hands that made you
Don't forget yer lonely days
And soak yer heart in clover
Anytime you feel it sway
"I've got no harmless longings" at
Least that's what she said
As night came even closer to the
Bare hips of my bed
So temptation sings a slow song and
Wraps yer lust in shame
The women take on new lives as
You swagger with the lame
The ghosts of hallelujah leave
You there alone
Counting bottles of medicine and
Longing for yer home
Don't forget the hands that made you
Don't forget yer lonely days
And soak yer heart in clover
Anytime you feel it sway
