Ella Henderson – Ghost Lyrics

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain¹
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you²
It keeps me awake
My friends I can figure out
You’re the soul that’s inside of you
It’s rock hard in another you
But your evil was coming through

These eyes sitting on the wall
Well they watch every move I make
Bright light taking in the shape
You go hard, makes my spirit shake³

(Ooh) I had to go through hell⁴ to prove I’m not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name⁵

And that’s when my love was burning
Yeah it’s still burning⁶

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you’re creeping in⁷
And I let you another skin⁸
‘Cause I love living in the sin⁹

Oh you never told me
True love was gonna hurt¹⁰
True pain, it’s own desert
True face that I never learned¹¹

(Ooh) I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stall the haunting baby

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting baby¹²

I keep going to the river

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

I keep going to the river to pray
‘Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
