Lonely Ghosts

The devil that you know Is better Than the one you don't And so it goes

Like lonely ghosts At a roadside cross We stay because We don't know where else to go

The places, our old haunts They miss us when we're gone we can never move on

So Like lonely ghosts At a roadside cross We stay

The devil that you know Is better than The one you don't

Like lonely ghosts At a roadside cross We stay because We don't know where else to go

We stay because We don't know where else to go

From an interview with Orenda --

"For example, after my mother had a stroke, she told me that she was seeing dead people at roadside crosses. It was an intense conversation that made me think. So I started playing with the line of "lonely ghosts and roadside crosses," and it become a song of mine called "Lonely Ghosts": "Like lonely ghosts at a roadside cross/We stay because we don't know where else to go." I built the song around that phrase, and it ended up being a love song about two people who can't leave each other because they don't know anything else. So that's an example of taking a story someone told me, and making it into a song."
