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 hiding another you

But your evil was coming through



These eyes sitting on the wall

They watch every move I make

Bright light living in the shade

Your cold heart makes my spirit shake



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



[2x:]

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're gone

I turn around and you're creeping in

And I let you under my skin

Guess I love living in the sin



Oh you never told me

True love was gonna hurt

True pain I don't deserve

Truth is that I never learn



[2x:]

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



[2x:]

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
