From the recording Sleeping with Ghosts, Vol. II
The title track of Sleeping with Ghosts, Volume II blends haunting acoustic country with cinematic intimacy. Rooted in heartbreak and memory, it weaves delicate guitar with vulnerable vocals to capture the ache of love that never truly leaves. A deeply emotional, minimalist folk-country ballad that lingers like a ghost.
Lyrics
She comes around
‘Round midnight
I hear the sound
Of her footsteps on the other side of the door
Just like every other night before
Before she left-
Left her key
And headed somewhere West
And ever since these walls have been haunting me
Whispering memories
Am I going crazy?
Then again maybe…
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
She won’t leave me alone, no
It’s like she’s walking these halls
Sneaking in my bed
Almost feel her lips say, “Baby, I won’t let you forget”
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
As the clock ticks by
Little closer to
Losing my mind
But I ain’t ready to say goodbye
So I’ll lie dreaming long as she’s by my side
Maybe I'm dreaming
I can’t fight this feeling
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
She won’t leave me alone, no
It’s like she’s walking these halls
Sneaking in my bed
Almost feel her lips say, “Baby, I won’t let you forget”
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
Now and then I’ll meet someone
We’ll end up back at my place
As soon as them lights go off
I just see her face
Maybe I'm going crazy
Ain’t nothing gonna save me
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
Yeah, I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
She won’t leave me alone, no
It’s like she’s walking these halls
Sneaking in my bed
Almost feel her lips say, “Baby, I won’t let you forget”
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
I’m just sleeping with a ghost, oh
Maybe, I’m just sleeping with a ghost
