I wrote this song for you kids,
they said I'll go today I'll try and stay strong for you
and then I'll be on my way,
they'll welcome me to heaven and I'll look back on the world
and say that I've been here before,
everyday with you and I haven't so,
when all this left
is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting,
when all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my
songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
Even as a ghost to you,
you still mean the most to me,
I've the highest hopes for you
and all you'll live to be and even though I'm gone,
oh please don't think that you won't hear from me,
just play the songs I wrote for you and
I swear that you'll be near to me and
when all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
When all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
And in my eulogy,
don't speak of the things that only you knew of me,
I always thought of night when the world outside was soon with me,
you were there oh and you'd weather it,
then you'd piece me back together,
it's all you,
you see
So in my eulogy,
don't speak of the things that only you knew of me,
I would cry at night when the world outside was soon with me,
you were there oh and you'd weather it,
then you'd piece me back together,
it's all you,
you see
And so,
when all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
When all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
When all this left is the dust from my bones,
won't you put on my songs and dance with my ghost in the mornings,
the perfect haunting
