Bell, book and candle

the blue around the morning moon
the colour of your eyes
I remember holding you
fall through summer skies
you’re everything that I’ve become
every word I say

I need a bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away

white horses on a troubled sea
your smile will flash through time
up ahead a blackbird’s wing
your hair will come to mind
every night I see your face
when I have to pray

I need a bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away

keep your ghost away
keep your ghost away
I need a
bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away

just before the thunder roars
I sense you next to me
and as I move through nature
I know where you must be
but I will keep myself apart
here is where I’ll stay

with a bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away

– vocalise

keep your ghost away
keep your ghost away
I need a bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away

the blue around the morning moon
the colour of your eyes
I remember holding you
fall through summer skies
you’re everything that I’ve become
in every word I say

I need a bell, book and candle
to keep your ghost away
