Ghost in the House

What happens when the passion fades? If you've ever looked across the room at someone you love and wondered where the years went, this song is for you. LYRICS: We used to shake these old floorboards Dancin' barefoot after midnight rain Laughin' loud enough to wake the neighbors Kissin' like a freight train off the chain You'd pull me close and swear forever Like forever was a thing we could hold Now we're just two shadows at the table Sippin' coffee while it goes cold Where did all that fire go? Lord, I wish I knew I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know We used to light up the whole damn night Now the embers barely glow I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know I remember sneakin' out the back door Just to watch the stars above Talkin' 'bout the places we'd be someday Back when someday still had time Now our phones do the talkin' And the silence fills the room between You're right there across the sofa But you're farther than you've ever been Where did all that fire go? Lord, I wish I knew I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know We used to light up the whole damn night Now the embers barely glow I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know Maybe nobody did nothin' wrong Maybe this is just what time can do Turn a love song into background noise Till you forget why it mattered to you And Lord, that's what hurts the most Not the fights we had or tears we cried It's waking up beside somebody And realizing the fun part already died The mirror tells me I ain't twenty The world don't stop when beauty fades I still got this heart full of thunder But nobody comes to hear it rain Sometimes I sit out on the porch swing Thinkin' 'bout that girl I used to be She'd never believe we'd make it this far And still feel this lonely Where did all that fire go? Lord, I wish I knew I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know We used to light up the whole damn night Now the embers barely glow I'm just a ghost in this old house Livin' with a man I used to know Yeah, I'm just a ghost in the house Still rememberin' when love was a fire #Blues #Americana #DarkAmericana #BanjoBlues #SouthernGothic #BluesRock #FolkBlues #SadSongs #OutlawCountry #BobbieRose
