Emma Pollock - Old Ghosts lyrics

I'm not sorry that you're gone The hell we raised was always fun But I'm not sorry that you're gone I'd pick the place; you'd pick a fight And all who witnessed lost the night To the unravelling of spite and all things we collected And how am I supposed to speak to Those I ridiculed but still looked up to? Oh coming here it takes some nerve So I am grateful for your generous omission of unwelcome reminiscing Why so reasonable now? Why so reasonable now? What you got that's so important? It just can't wait for morning call Coming here I meet old ghosts And one that I fear more than most The grasping hand it takes my throat as I ascend the stairway And as the mirror does remind I know you're never far behind Oh please don't make a fuss the years just took their toll on us Years fall off me as I reach you And here again I am the child that once revered you If this body must hold two I'll pray the other is not you And I will run so fast I'll lose you from the looking gla** Why so reasonable now? Why so reasonable now? What you got that's so important? It just can't wait for morning call Why so reasonable now? Why so reasonable now? Whatever happened to all of your people? Whatever happened to all of your boys? Chasing their tail between market and steeple Whatever happened to all of your boys? Whatever happened to all of your boys? And how am I supposed to speak to Those I ridiculed but still looked up to? Years fall off me as I reach you And here again I am the child that once revered you And how am I supposed to speak to Those I ridiculed but still looked up to? Years fall off me as I reach you And here again I am the child that once revered you
