Текст песни: Ghost in the Town + перевод

Dearest Emma, there’s a ghost in the town

A ghost in the town from where you came

Dearest Emma, there are cracks on the wall

Voices in the hall that can’t escape

Can you remember when we all were young

When we all were much younger than today?

And have you noticed all the signs on the road

Causing all who pass to know to please be safe?

And I won’t keep quiet for the harm I’ve caused

And I can’t read wrinkles on your face

And I don’t have penance for the things I’ve done

I can’t explain

There is a photo on the dash of our car

That has recently gone dark from all the sun

Could you imagine if our skin were to fall

Would the world just be appalled at what we’ve done?

Dearest Emma, there’s a ghost in our town

A ghost in the town from where you came

All the nights that the dogs wouldn’t bark

I stare with no remark, a cryin' shame

There’s a crack in the center of our kitchen floor

And I’m curious of what it could destroy

As I reach my hand into the dark below

I hear your voice

And if you want me, like I want you

A slow escape of all that’s made

Our purest stolen virtue

And if you need me, like I need you

Then that ghost that bore itself below

Won’t bother me, and babe, it won’t bother you
