I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away
And those where the curtains That you had made One thing's for certain The ghost of you stays
I painted the second room And cleared out the basement And smelled some of your perfume On a scarf that you made
The Salvation Army collected your things I gave them the jewellery, all the bracelets and rings Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays
I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away
I wake in the morning And try to be brave But it's hard to move on When the ghost of you stays
It's hard to move on When the ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays
