Little Ghost Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please forgive me
(It's impossible to say)
If I appear unkind
(It's impossible to know) but any fool can tell you
It's all in your mind

[Verse 2]
Down in the meadow
The old lion stirred
As his hands cross his mouth
He has no use for word

[Chorus]
Poor little girl
With your hands full of snow
Poor little girl
'had no way to know
But you've got me eatin'
You've got me eatin' out
You've got me eatin'
Right outta your hands

[Verse 3]
The airborne starlings circle
Over the frozen fields
And the hollyhocks hang harmlessly
And the old lion yields
See Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live
Get tickets as low as $104
[Chorus]
But you've got me eatin'
You've got me eatin'
You've got me eatin' right outta your hands
You've got me eatin' right outta your hands
Got me eatin' right outta your hands
Got me eatin' right outta your hands
Got me eatin' right outta your hands

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
