Ghost
Ghost - Ella Henderson Lyrics
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
My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hidin' another youBut your evil was coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
Well, they watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shape
Your cold hart makes my spirit shake (ooh)
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning
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 in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living in the sin
Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is I never learned (ooh)
I keep going to the river to pray (ooh-oh)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (oh)
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (oh, oh)
It keeps me awake (oh, oh, oh)
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
Stop the haunting, baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
I keep going to the river to pray (oh, yeah)
'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 (your ghost)
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray (I keep going, oh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (ooh)
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (oh-ooh-oh)
It keeps me awake
'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
My friends had you figured out

Proverbs 22:14
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; He who is cursed of the LORD will fall into it.
Proverbs 23:27
For a harlot is a deep pit And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.
Proverbs 5:3
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And smoother than oil is her speech;
Proverbs 6:23-25
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.
Proverbs 31:30-31
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her at the gates.
Proverbs 23:26-28
My son, give me your heart,
and let your eyes delight in my ways.
For a prostitute is a deep pit,
and an adulteresse is a narrow well.
Like a robber she lies in wait
and multiplies the faithless among men.
@NellaWasHere
This is one of my favorite songs this year, but it's very underrated! :(
@rogerio067072
you dont have to worry about it. some things in life are not for everyone, some music are like a good perfume that makes everyone ask what it is, and it's not even that expensive.
@NellaWasHere
But still 'Anaconda' has 1000 times more views, why these kind of amazing songs can't reach those numbers.. D: (Okay some songs can, but honestly this song deserves more!)
@HappyLiFeRhythm
i do not agree about this song being underrated.....i heard it play at least 5 times this week on a music channel in romania.keep them coming ella sweety you are fabulous!
@AmeliaLovato
Underrated? It was the best selling song of the Summer, and went straight to number 1 in the UK!
@joethompson-smith2773
Ella's at the right amount of fame - enough it be successful and well known, but not so much that she can't have a normal life like someone like Katy Perry or Taylor Swift.
@JacoblWellfairlMusic
I think it's a grower, it's great that she's come so far since the x factor and this is just the start.
@reludas
nah this was the peak
@JacoblWellfairlMusic
@@reludas Hardly with the number of hits she’s had in recent years 💪🏽
@KamiCS2
@@JacoblWellfairlMusic which seems to be exactly zero, or which recent years are we talking about...?
Fair, she's had a couple interesting collaborations that got her into a brief, though sizable, uptrend, but Ghost undeniably was the peak, so far. Here's to (still) hoping for a late rebound..
