Ghost


After a vacation in wonderful Iceland in the spring of 2012 I wrote a song in Icelandic, Draugur. The goal was to write a song in my native language and I liked the results so much that I re-made the song in English as well although the lyrics are not quite on the same subject.

The song is also available on Spotify in a very slightly different version

And here is the Icelandic original


The Lyrics

Where i am

Im alone

Its all over

But no one knows


I should go

Take what i own

Find my way

Find a home


Leave with me

Dont know the way

I need to breathe


Breathe with me

Dont want to stay

Should be free


I dont feel

unlike most

No one sees me

Im a ghost


I don't dare

can't take the cost

but being cheap

I am lost


Live with me

I need you here

I want to feel


Feel with me

There is no life

I need to leave


..leave with me…
