Your sisters golden hair now falls 
Across the bed we called our own 
She holds her fella tight they mock 
The isolation of the night 
Every loving laugh I've known 
Is now a match between my lids 
The night is long since you have gone 
From our home 
Can you feel me can you feel me 
As I reach to touch you in the night 
I'd run to you now if I could, 
But it's a dream my limbs are still 
The night plays tricks on me 
Since you have gone 
From our home 
So I will hide beneath the whispering trees 
I'll kiss you in my memory 
We walk atop these hills of sand 
See how you soothe this shaking drunken hand. 
Beneath the burning sun 
I felt us melting into one 
A year ago when you were here 
In our home 
So I will raise my voice to the north-bound wind 
In the morning you will hear me sing 
A breeze to soothe your fitful rest 
You'll hold this ghost song to your chest 
You'll cross the desert, 
Cross the seas 
For a second you will lie with me 
You'll lie with me 
You'll lie with me 
In our home
