Holy Ghost
Jessie Early Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hover over waters of my heart
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)
Ho-ho-holy ghost
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)
