Spooky song about a past love who continues to haunt the memory. Bridge lyrics by Lauren Curtis.
House on the Corner
1. There’s the house on the corner where I used to live
And the girl I loved lived right next door.
Sometimes I come here to just look around
But she don’t live here anymore.
No use pretending that she’s still around;
Both of us long ago moved from this town.
But there’s something that draws me right back to this place
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face.
2. The paint is all peeling, the grass overgrown
The fence posts have rotted away
But I can still see her out in her yard
Like it was just yesterday
I shouldn’t come here—life has moved on
No use in holding to what is long gone
Yet there’s something that draws me right back to this place
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face.
Bridge
The face in the window/ I dreamed shared my pillow
The love of an angel still haunts me
As I pull from the drive/ in the mirror I find
Reflections of what used to be
Yeah, there’s something that draws me right back to this place
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face
Like a ghost…that’s wearing her face.
