Everyone’s talking about the lyrics, and they are amazing, but is anyone going to acknowledge the hauntingly beautiful melodies and harmonies? Stunning.
I only sing the melody!
One of the greatest songs ever made. Lovely lyrics 💛
These ladies were a major part of my life from the time I was 16 years old. Some of my current life philosophy was extracted from their lyrics and their unapologetic candor.
The Most beautiful and poetic lyrics ever written and put on an album. I highly recommend 1200 Curfews live version of Ghost. Genius.
So so so wonderful. Thank you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indigo Girls, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your gifts and your souls with the world. All time great song
Incredible!! I've loved those amazing humans since I first heard them in 1996, I was 19. They continue to blow me away!! 💜💜💜
I realize this song is about a lost lover, but so many of the words speak so clearly about how it felt to lose my mother over thirty years ago.
This is the most Beautiful version I’ve ever heard.
Eternal Fan!
Emily - one of my all-time favorite songwriters!
Hard to see them get old. One of my most loved songs. Great fucking writing.
I suspect you are one of those bipolar, alphabet people, but this is song speaks to heteros, too.
@@jhogan1960 bwaa bwaa this song speaks to heteros too bwaaa :'0
Just be happy we're all still here. Getting older is a privilege and better than the alternative.
They just two beautiful people singing beautiful songs. I want to hug them and say thank you for the years of hours I’ve loved, listened, and sang along.
Now I see your face before me and I would launch a thousand ships to bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips… 👊🏼💔
Just crying. One of my all time favorite songs.
Still so beautiful. I will follow you and sing with you until the end of the earth.
Best song ever ! Emily rocks.
It’s April 2022. The world has gone nuts. You gals give us peace! Thank-you ! I wonder do your read these updates?
I’m in love with your ghost. Oh the dreams and nightmares from my way back dreams !
The most beautiful song ever written….poetic lyrics and haunting melody
The Girls still got it. Such a great love song.
Incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Penny 🇳🇿says: To my 'ghost', 15 years ago today, you changed my life forever. I love you everly xxx
And here's the lyris
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to
In our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams
And the Mississippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown
And there's not enough room
In this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
And time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret (don't tell a soul)
That gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamed about you (don't tell a soul)
Last night make me blush
And you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memory like a piper
And I feel it like a sickness
How this love is killing me
I'd walk into the fingers
Of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
I've never been this close
In love with your ghost, ooh
Ooh
Unknowing captor
You never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I can't touch you
Can you hear it
A cry to be free
Oh I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me
Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles
With you always at my heels
This bitter pill I swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I can't swim free
The river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost (in love with your ghost)
You are shadowing my dreams
(In love with your ghost)
(In love with your ghost)
Thank you. I'm as old as they are, yet this song still speaks to me.
I never understood why they never achieved the fame of Joni Mitchell or James Taylor.
...but who has? They just don't make 'em like they used to.
Love you both
Beautiful
.. damn!
Wow
"Shadowing" my dreams, as if dreaming is a paid for occupation.
