Holy Ghost
Jessie Early Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skipping stones in the bank where the tides rise in depart
You know I got, I got the sun reflecting of my skin
I feel your hush and every storm again
Ho-ho-holy ghost
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
If you can raise eyes [?] from the dead
Surely can raise up the cynical greys in my head
You know I got, I got the smokes lifting out of the cracks
Ancient neon promises build up from any [?] paths
Ho-ho-holy ghost
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
Ho-ho-holy ghost
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
Every time I run, you find me out
Ho-ho-holy ghost
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
Ho-ho-holy ghost
Following me so close, so close
Walking in steps, steps, one step, two steps (you're my shadow)
