Paul Westerberg
Ghost on the Canvas
[Verse 1]
I know a place between
Life and death for you and me
Best take hold on the threshold
Of eternity

[Chorus]
And see the ghost on the canvas
People don't see us
Ghost on the canvas
People don't know
When they're looking at soul

[Verse 2]
In between here and there
There is a place that we can grow
The spirits make love in the wheat field
With crows

[Chorus]
Like a ghost on the canvas
People don't see them!
Ghost on the canvas
No, they never see soul!

[Bridge]
Ring around the rosary
Pocket full of prose you read
Ashes to ashes, we all fall in love
With the ghost on the canvas
[Verse 3]
We dream in color
Others they color their dreams
It takes one to know one
The spirit always knows what it sees

[Chorus]
Like a ghost on the canvas
Never can have us
Ghost on a canvas
It's the soul that makes them go
People don't know
When they're looking at soul

[Outro]
Better take hold
I'm the ghost on the canvas
