ghizela rowe - mary gilmore - a little ghost lyrics

Loading...

the moonlight flutters from the sky
to meet her at the door
a little ghost, whose steps have passed
across the creaking floor

and rustling vines that lightly tap
against the window+pane
throw shadows on the white+washed walls
to blot them out again

the moonlight leads her as she goes
across a narrow plain
by all the old, familiar ways
that know her steps again

and through the scrub it leads her on
and brings her to the creek
but by the broken dam she stops
and seems as she would speak

she moves her lips, but not a sound
ripples the silеnt air;
she wrings her little hands, ah, mе!
the sadness of despair!

while overhead the black+duck’s wing
cuts like a flash upon
the startled air, that scarcely shrinks
ere he afar is gone
and curlews wake, and wailing cry
cur+lew! cur+lew! cur+lew!
till all the bush, with nameless dread
is pulsing through and through

the moonlight leads her back again
and leaves her at the door
a little ghost whose steps have passed
across the creaking floor
