Let Living Forgive. (Last of the Ghosts​.​)

from The Ghosts of Last Night by Alex Elbery

/

lyrics

Be present
that's a gift
everybody's got one to give
and mine just happens to be this.

So be ready
when you wake
I'll be under your tree while you wait to unwrap all my biggest mistakes.

Just be happy
and that's it.
That's all there is, only one life to live.
So just live, and let living forgive.

Because you're trying
at least you tried
but your best laid plans died like mice in your hands

so be gentle
some things break
when you hold them that way, so you just give them away
and your love is my burden tonight.

'Cause I'm tired
and that's all
I hear the early bird call as I walk through this wall

to get caught
surrender me
because I know there must be something that I'm supposed to see,
but I just need a pair of wings.

Because I'm the ghost of last time
and the time before last
and 'til I'm done with there's nothing to ask.

I'm just the ghost of your love
and hers before that
and 'til the last one is done with
it's never enough.

So just live
and let living forgive.
