Laura Marling - Ghosts Lyrics






He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying 'I'm still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you'

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

So he went crazy at nineteen
Said he'd lost all his self esteem
And couldn't understand why he was crying

He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart.
oh the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
oh the ghosts that broke my heart
the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

He says 'I'm so lost,
Not at all well'

ooooooooooohhh [x2]

After it was done when there was nothing left to be
Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me
After it was done after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each other's shoulder

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I ever believed in
Everlasting love

    He walked down a busy street

    Presents her with the pictures and says
    "These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.

    Like I believe in
    Everlasting love

    He went crazy at nineteen
    Said he'd lost all his self esteem
    And couldn't understand why he was cry, cry, crying, crying.

    He would stare at empty chairs
    Think of the ghosts that once sat there
    The ghosts who broke his heart.
    All the ghosts that broke my heart
    The ghosts that broke his heart
    All the ghosts that broke my heart
    The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts,
    The ghosts, the ghosts
    The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

    Lover, please do not
    Fall to your knees
    It's not
    Like I believe in
    Everlasting love

    He says "I'm so lost,
    Not at all well"
    Do as though there is nothing left to be
    Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me
    Do as though after it was over
    We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
    And I said

    Lover, please do not
    Fall to your knees
    It's not
    Like I believe in
    Everlasting love

    Lover, please do not
    Fall to your knees
    It's not
    Like I believe in
    Everlasting love

    Laura!!! I'm your biggest brazilian fan! I like you since I listened this song. Probably, you'll never come to Brazil, but I hope to travel to UK to see your singing. Ghosts is my favorite song and it tells a lot about me and my feelings. Thank u so much for sing it for us.

    W.... D....

    She came in 2011 to the Natura Festival, with Jack Johnson, G Love and other great artists. I felt in love in her show, was a great performance. Hope she comes back soon!

    W.... D....

    +Wellber Drayton You really should travel here to see her sometime. I've been to see her twice now, she is so, so amazing live. The first time she was with her band, it was great, they all were. But, the second time she was just by herself, I can't describe it, there are no words. You really just have to witness her for yourself :p

    W.... D....

  40. E.... ....

    @LilBbyJoKr Me too, I find it cute but surprisingly I have never thought to view the actual music video for it before but it's given me a different view of the song. I guess it seems less depressing haha

  41. D.... C....

    Epic combination of Laura Marling, Charlie Fink, Tom Hobden, Marcus Mumford and Country Winston!

  42. p.... p....

    aww this video kinda killed this song for me a little the tiniest bit but still... :/

  43. A.... S....

  53. B.... L....

    I am a cool guy because I like this song... WE are cool people because we like this song.

  54. S.... ....

    I think it sounds better live, but she always has a beautiful voice. And seeing Marcus Mumford and Winston Marshall all ghostified makes me giggle.

  55. A.... F....

    CHARLIE FINK! :D

  56. M.... S....

    Dear Laura,

    I love you.

    That's all.

  59. b.... ....

    my favorite song ever!

  60. S.... ....

    does anyone know the instruments being played in this song and who is playing them

  61. P.... ....

    Does this video remind anyone of Corpse Bride? :)

  62. Y.... P....

    @guitaHer099 what is a hipster?

  63. s.... ....

    hate to say it, but Made in Chelsea brought me here...

  64. H.... ....

    Laura Marling is amazing, but I'm pretty sure she was talking abotu Charlie Fink the whole time in this song.

  65. c.... ....

    @ObiUbiquitous that's my favorite choreography of hers, but it was taken down D:

  66. c.... ....

    @JeeyWhooJeey i love mumford and sons!! the cave is amazing

  67. A.... v....

    Mumford and Sons used to be the backing band of Laura Marling, that's how they were discovered

  68. E.... B....

    Great song, loving Tom and Charlie too

  69. H.... H....

    everytime i see this is makes me happy, oh my gosh so much perfect in one video, mumford,fink,hobden,marshall and marling eughh too good

  70. j.... k....

    @xxxAlesanaFan4everxx it actually is. i looked it up. They're in the background, and if you really look at the faces, you can tell that it is them... Marcus Mumford has a very distinct facial structure:)

  71. s.... ....

    I see Tom Hobden, Marcus Mumford and Charlie Fink. I love this video so much, it hurts. And I love the way it hurts...... Ok I should shut it now.

  72. H.... C....

    this was so amazing yesterday on her cathedral tour <3

  73. j.... k....

    Is that Mumford and Sons?:)

  74. j.... m....

    @1992VoodooChild mtv before the jersey shore

  75. T.... B....

    Sounds very much like a Joni Mitchell song

  76. c.... ....

    @ozzieman321 what a fuckin hipster.

  77. L.... ....

    @xxzizzyxx15 think its marcus then some of noah and the whale?

  78. k.... m....

    is that mumford and sons backing vocals?

  79. s.... ....

    shes a good lyricist.

  80. o.... ....

    I knew about Laura Marling before any of you. I was the original. You all just like songs that other people like because you do not have your own taste in music, you only copy what other people like....

    o.... ....

    I found her by myself while looking for some indie folk music :) .

  81. A.... ....

    dont really like this video, doesn't match how the song means to me

  82. s.... ....

    @Riyadh1986 We'd all be listening to the same shit. Yay. Good idea.

  83. g.... ....

    her voice remembering me of natalie merchant from 10.000 maniacs
    am i right ? or just...

  84. T.... ....

    lmao at Marcus and Winston with the face paint!!!

  85. A.... F....

    I first heard this song (thanks to Criznittle's playlist) when it had around 200 scrobblings on last.fm. I live in argentina, and I instantly loved her music. If she hadn't became popular she would've never got a gig here. If a lot of people know it and like it it's awesome, because it means she is acknowledged by those who catch her music. If she is successful she gets to do more albums. I really don't get hipsters.

  86. R.... M....

    can you imagine a world without a dislike button?

  87. K.... H....

    my # 1 favorite song. Too bad my friends don't get her. What's the fun of music if you are too afraid to share it? :/

  88. k.... ....

    Laura Marling is utterly amazing

  89. K.... A....

    @WinterIvyDawn the other two are charlie fink and tom hobden from noah and the whale. I'm pretty sure that laura has slept with at least 3 of them too, Just saying. I also think she did a little destruction on Fink when she dumped him for Mumford.

  90. S.... ....

    Marcus isn't loud enough!

  91. s.... w....

    muito bom ^^

  92. y.... ....

    14 fucking hipsters

  93. O.... V....

    i dont get why she isn't more famous. i know she got a brit but she is fantastic! x

  94. b.... ....

    omg she and Marissa Nadler should meet <3

  95. K.... W....

    @WinterIvyDawn Its actually Band members from Noah and The Whale - really great band. The other two skeletons I mean :)

  96. K.... W....

    @WinterIvyDawn Its actually Band members from Noah and The Whale - really great band.

  97. W.... ....

    @eternallyverdant - That is definitely Marcus Mumford, as well as Winston Marshall of Mumford & Sons, I don't know who the other two 'skeletons' are though.

  98. J.... D....

    she pulls off the skeleton look way better than gaga ever could
