TOO MANY GHOSTS

 

MARCUS HUMMON

STUART ADAMSON

 

I took my past out for a ride

Along the north sea

All my demons in the back seat

Crying out for me, time to pay the piper

Time to call in a marker, time to cough it up

The last thing on my mind

Was another shot at love

 

CHORUS:

Too many ghosts

One too many ghosts to fall in love

 

Avarice, drunkenness, pride, and infidelity

I dropped them off at a bus stop

Along the coast

You came out of nowhere

Sat right up next to me, looking like a virgin

Unconfirmed, waiting for the host

But there ain't no virgins here,

No novices, no innocence

Just the dark desire for forgiveness

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

I took my new love out for a ride

Along the north sea

Forgiveness or forgetfulness

It's all the same to me

As i look into her eyes

And press her in my arms

I look over her shoulder,

Back to where my demons are
