[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake

[Verse 1]
My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hidin' another you, but your evil was comin' through
These eyes sittin' on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light, livin' in the shade
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake

[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, thе ghost of you it keeps me awake

[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the rivеr to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
[Verse 2]
Each time that I think your gone
I turn around and your creepin' in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love livin' in sin
Boy, you never told me true love was gon' hurt
True pain, I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learn

[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake

[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake

[Bridge]
Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
Give up the ghost, stop the hauntin', baby
Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
Give up the ghost, no more hauntin', baby
I keep goin' to the river
[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake

[Chorus]
I keep goin' to the river to pray (Goin' to the river, yeah)
'Cause I need somethin' that could wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleepin' all these demons away (Yeah, yeah)
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
