The Ghosts Of Peach Street by Krista Detor Lyrics
Antebellum casualty at the end of a southern street
Cartoons climbing though the walls and down around my feet
Someone said this house is haunted by a woman
Who couldn’t bear to live when sickness took her children?
But right now this house is haunted by the light outside the window
Making shadows of our bodies as we smoke our cigaretts
And Im sick from too much warm beer
Trying to fix it with another
Tomorrow ill be sinking in the river of regret
You are drinking whiskey form the flask your father gave you
And sometimes you don’t know if you can make another day
The ghosts are looking up at me from underneath the floorboard
And someone better talk to them before they go away
Before they leave peach street
And the pretty houses fall
Before the sun goes down on peach street
And the new world takes it all
There is an old train station back behind the Walmart
Use to be the only way in and out of town
And I know the time moves forward now
Nights are longer, days are shorter
Days are shorter than they’ve ever been
But still I miss the sound of trains
*break*
As they leave peach street
And the pretty houses fall
And the skyline reaches peach street
And the new world takes it all
Carline is swinging on a porch across the street
I can see the highway from here
It’s the color of her hair
And she doesn’t say a word to me
Even when I play on her piano
She’s looking past me
To someone that use to be here
When I look back your drinking whiskey from the flask your father gave you
And I know you’re going to lie to me somewhere someday
And ghosts are running fingers though your long black hair
Well Caroline is swinging and the old piano is playing
And the sound of trains is fading in the air
There all gone from peach street
And the pretty houses fall
The ghosts are leaving peach street
And the new world takes them all
And the New world takes it all
Cartoons climbing though the walls and down around my feet
Someone said this house is haunted by a woman
Who couldn’t bear to live when sickness took her children?
But right now this house is haunted by the light outside the window
Making shadows of our bodies as we smoke our cigaretts
And Im sick from too much warm beer
Trying to fix it with another
Tomorrow ill be sinking in the river of regret
You are drinking whiskey form the flask your father gave you
And sometimes you don’t know if you can make another day
The ghosts are looking up at me from underneath the floorboard
And someone better talk to them before they go away
Before they leave peach street
And the pretty houses fall
Before the sun goes down on peach street
And the new world takes it all
There is an old train station back behind the Walmart
Use to be the only way in and out of town
And I know the time moves forward now
Nights are longer, days are shorter
Days are shorter than they’ve ever been
But still I miss the sound of trains
*break*
As they leave peach street
And the pretty houses fall
And the skyline reaches peach street
And the new world takes it all
Carline is swinging on a porch across the street
I can see the highway from here
It’s the color of her hair
And she doesn’t say a word to me
Even when I play on her piano
She’s looking past me
To someone that use to be here
When I look back your drinking whiskey from the flask your father gave you
And I know you’re going to lie to me somewhere someday
And ghosts are running fingers though your long black hair
Well Caroline is swinging and the old piano is playing
And the sound of trains is fading in the air
There all gone from peach street
And the pretty houses fall
The ghosts are leaving peach street
And the new world takes them all
And the New world takes it all
