L-DA - Whispering Ghost Limbs
текст песни

(Verse 1)
The sheets are pulled tight on the right side of the bed
To cover the space where you laid down your head.
I move to the center, but I’m shivering still,
Like the ghost of a fever or a wintertime chill.
I reach out my hand in the dark of the room,
Brushing the velvet of shadows and gloom.
I feel for your fingers, the curve of your wrist,
But I’m grasping at nothing but memory and mist.
(Chorus)
It’s a phantom sensation, this pull in my chest,
A heart that’s still beating but can't find its rest.
Like a limb that is gone, yet it aches in the rain,
I’m haunted by love and its beautiful pain.
So hush now, my darling, and drift into sleep,
While I keep the secrets we promised to keep.
I’m holding onto air where your body once rose,
Living in the echo of whispering ghost limbs.
(Verse 2)
The hallway is haunted by the way that you walked,
The kitchen is heavy with the way that we talked.
I still hear your keys as they turn in the door,
Then the silence comes crashing back down on the floor.
It’s the habit of loving you, deep in my bones,
The map of a country that nobody owns.
I’m tracing the outlines of where you should be,
But the space in the doorway is all I can see.
(Chorus)
It’s a phantom sensation, this pull in my chest,
A heart that’s still beating but can't find its rest.
Like a limb that is gone, yet it aches in the rain,
I’m haunted by love and its beautiful pain.
So hush now, my darling, and drift into sleep,
While I keep the secrets we promised to keep.
I’m holding onto air where your body once rose,
Living in the echo of whispering ghost limbs.
(Bridge)
They say that the body forgets over time,
The rhythm, the reason, the mountain we climbed.
But my nerves are still firing, they’re calling your name,
Burning like oil on an invisible flame.
(Outro)
Lay down your spirit...
The night is so long.
I’ll hum you to sleep
With a broken-heart song.
I feel you... I miss you...
But nobody knows.
Just me and the ache
Of these whispering ghost limbs.
