If I walk down this hallway
Tonight, it's too quiet
So I pad through the dark
And call you on the phone
Push your old numbers
And let your house ring
Till I wake your ghost
Let him walk down your hallway
It's not that quiet
Slide down your receiver
Sprint across the wire
Follow my number
Slide into my hand
Its the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
I think last night
You were driving circles around me
I can't drink this coffee
Till I put you in my closet
Let him shoot me down
Let him call me off
I take it from his whisper
Your not that tough
It's the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
I think last night (you were in my dreams)
You were driving circles around me

Your Ghost
-----------
Shock
Susanne Modeski, was like a robot.
coming back from the cemetery.
She sat at home in a chair, staring into space.
too numb to move for several days.
She kept a close eye on the warehouse.
watching the man and woman.
move things out.
It's now Or Never
one day Susanne remembered the handgun.
The one she carried for protection.
it was a normal day, sitting across the street.
From the warehouse. They left.
This was her chance, she got out of the car.
she took a deep breath as she climbed the stairs.
Once she was in, she took the gun out.
Fastened the silencer. she knew instinctively which room
was john's.
She went in, and laid beside the suit.
That was laying on the bed. She took the gold ring
out of her purse. she laid the purse at the foot of the bed.
as if in slow motion, Susanne laid down beside
the lifeless suit.
she held the gold ring tightly in her right hand.
With her other hand, she pointed the gun to her temple
and pulled the trigger. her eyes closed as the blood
ran down her face.
