I keep going to the river to pray 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
My friends had you figured out Yeah, they saw what's inside of you You tried hiding another you But your evil was coming through
These guys sitting on the wall They watch every move I make Bright light living in the shade Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning Yeah, it's still burning
2x: I keep going to the river to pray 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
Each time that I think you go I turn around and you're creeping in And I let you under my skin 'Cause I love living in the sin
Boy you never told me True love was going to hurt True pain I don't deserve Truth is that I never learn
2x: I keep going to the river to pray 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Stop the haunting baby
Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Give up the ghost No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
2x: I keep going to the river to pray 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
