lyrics

You left me here with ghosts,
the only holy things I know.
Some untraceable line of feeling,
an apparition apparently appealing.
“Be gone now!” I decree.
It’s shocking they’re obeying me.
I know only a child believes in ghosts
but I’m the oldest kid I know.

There’s no doubt
it’s time to make some new plans.
So reach out
and touch someone’s hand.

A tangled mind retires
and truth comes raging through the briar.
And I finally view with some clarity
the unseemly thing that’s been killing me.

I tend to underplay
I wasn’t happy anyway.
Just think I’d never been a bigger liar
than when you were lying next to me.

There’s no doubt
it’s time to make some new plans.
So reach out
and touch someone’s hand.

Someone’s hands
are on my back and I can
feel more love than I can stand
until I let some blood,
until love is all I am.

There’s no doubt
it’s time to make some new plans.
So reach out
and touch someone’s hand.
