Ghost in this House.....

I don't pick up the mail

I don't pick up the phone

I don't answer the door

I'd just as soon be alone

I don't keep this place up

I just keep the lights down

I don't live in these rooms

I just rattle around



I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls

As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls

I'm just a whisper of smoke

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire

That once burned out of control

You took my body and soul

I'm just a ghost in this house



I don't care if it rains

I don't care if it's clear

I don't mind staying in

There's another ghost here

She sits down in your chair

And she shines with your light

And she lays down her head

On your pillow at night



I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls

I'm living proof of the damage

Heartbreak does

I'm just a whisper of smoke

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire

That once burned out of control

And took my body and soul

I'm just a ghost in this house

Oh, I'm just a ghost in this house....

This song makes me weep for myself, but the reality is that it was always about more than the two of us...despite what my romantic heart tells me. God brought us together to bring about change for her children, our children, our adopted children, and their future. God brought us together to change history for our family....which in reality is His family.
Thank you Father for allowing us to have her as long as you did... Please allow me the grace and strength to go through this time... Father I miss her so!
Loving her still and loving you...
Papa Tripp
