A Tentative Sketch Lyrics by This Glass Embrace

A Ghost in the Photograph

2008

[Verse 1]
It’s raining outside
And the clock is all threes
I know you’re awake
From the way that you’re breathing
The wind is a ghost
Screaming under the trees
My eyes are closed tight
Still pretending to sleep
[Verse 2]
You’re crying again
With your face turned away
You stifle your sobs
Trying hard not to wake me
When the rain on the glass
Finally lulls you to sleep
I’ll be staring at the ceiling
Trying hard not to think
[Chorus]
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
[Verse 3]
I’ll wake with the morning
And pretend not to see
The tears that have dried
Overnight on your cheeks
And we’ll face one more day
In this half-life we lead
And the white lies in your black eyes
That I try to believe
[Chorus]
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
When sleep closes your eyelids
Whose face do you see?
Who is it you dream of?
Does he still look like me?
I still
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
I still
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Can't sleep
I still can't sleep
