Ghosteen lyrics

This world is beautiful

Held within its stars

I keep it in my heart

The stars are your eyes

I loved them right from the start

A world so beautiful

And I keep it

In my heart

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Slowly twirling, twirling, all around

Glowing circle in my hand

Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Slowly twirling, twirling, all around

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around

There goes the moonlit man

Got a suitcase in his hand

He’s moving on down the road

Things tend to fall apart

Starting with his heart

He kisses you lightly and he leaves

Leaves your sleeping body

Curled and dreaming around your smile

Around your smile

The three bears watch the TV

They age a lifetime, O Lord

Mama Bear holds the remote

Papa Bear he just floats

And Baby Bear he has gone

Gone to the moon in a boat

Oh in a boat

I’m speaking about love now

How the lights of love go down

You’re in the back room washing his clothes

Love’s like that you know

It’s like a tidal flow

And the past with its fierce undertow

Won’t ever let us go

Won’t ever let you go

If I could move the night I would

And I would turn the world around if I could

There is nothing wrong with loving something

You can’t hold in your hand

You’re sitting on the edge of the bed

Smoking and shaking your head

Well there’s nothing wrong with loving things

That cannot even stand

Well, there goes your moony man

With his suitcase in his hand

Every road is lined with animals

That rise from their blood and walk

Well the moon won’t get a wink of sleep

If I stay all night and talk

If I stay all night and talk
