If I could have you just follow me 'round
And cover that tracks that I leave on the ground
I'd be the quiet one, you'd be my queen
Or I could just let you lie sleeping with me
You took an extra spray of Sunday's perfume
You walked by me fast, it lingered where you stood
You where the younger one, barely 19
And I was the one with the ghost next to me
I took down the only book you left on my shelf
The pages where cut and inside it held
A tattered old picture of the loneliest man
And the locket you wore, he held in his hand
And I know now that my only friend
Is the locket you left on my bed
