[Intro] Every night when I wake up I. See. You. [Verse 1] At the foot of my bed A shape with a shawl Old as the hill Cold as the wall Your fingers are branches Your breath is ash You know my full name From the first to the last [Chorus] Elder ghost, elder ghost Stay out my room Elder ghost, elder ghost I know your tomb Elder ghost, elder ghost Leave me my skin Elder ghost, elder ghost Don't let them in [Verse 2] You tap on the glass With a nail like bone You sit in the chair When I am alone You wear my dead coat You hum my old tune The moon on your face Is a bruise in the room [Chorus] Elder ghost, elder ghost Stay out my room Elder ghost, elder ghost I know your tomb Elder ghost, elder ghost Leave me my skin Elder ghost, elder ghost Don't let them in [Bridge] I. Heard. Your. Name. In the well by the pines In the salt by the door In the bread on the shelf In the cracks in the floor [Final Chorus] Elder ghost, elder ghost Stay out my room Elder ghost, elder ghost I know your tomb Elder ghost, elder ghost Leave me my skin Elder ghost, elder ghost Don't let them in
