Too Many Ghosts Songtext

I took my past out for a ride Along the North Sea All my demons in the back seat Crying out for me Time to pay the piper, time to call in a marker Time to cough it up The last thing on my mind Was another shot at love Too many, too many, too many ghosts One too many ghosts to fall in love Avarice and drunkenness Pride and infidelity I left them off at a bus stop Along the coast You brushed past from nowhere And you sat right up front with me You were looking like a virgin Unconfirmed, waiting for the host But there are no virgins here No novices No innocence Just the dark desire for forgiveness Too many, too many, too many ghosts One too many ghosts to fall in Too many, too many, too many ghosts One too many ghosts to fall in love I took my new love out for a ride Along the North Sea Forgiveness or forgetfulness It's all the same to me And as I stare into her eyes And press her in my arms I look over her shoulder And there my demons are Too many, too many, too many ghosts One too many ghosts to fall in Too many, too many, too many ghosts One too many ghosts to fall in love
