Lyrics
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hidin' another you
But your evil was coming through

These eyes sitting on the wall
Well, they watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shape
Your cold hart makes my spirit shake (ooh)

I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning

I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living in the sin

Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is I never learned (ooh)

I keep going to the river to pray (ooh-oh)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (oh)
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (oh, oh)
It keeps me awake (oh, oh, oh)

I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stop the haunting, baby

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting, baby
I keep going to the river

I keep going to the river to pray (oh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (your ghost)
It keeps me awake

I keep going to the river to pray (I keep going, oh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (ooh)
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (oh-ooh-oh)
It keeps me awake
