Ghost of a Girl
(Meaux/Charpentier/Golden)
This acoustic duet sets the vocals of Meaux and Susan Cowsill in a bed of mandolins, acoustic guitars and percussion. Ms. Cowsill also provides accompaniment via the tamborine. Overall, this track provides a glimpse of what it might have sounded like had Exine Cervenka and John Doe sat in on the Rolling Stones' Beggar's Banquet sessions.
She's got the walkin' pain
The kind that won't go away and can't be explained
She's got the homemade blues
Whatever happened in there takes a lifetime to lose
Just a ghost of a girl
Seen way too much world
Just a ghost of a girl
And I love her
She's got the teardrop eyes
And a heart-shaped box where she keeps all your lies
She likes the lonesome songs
You can hear her heart break when she's singing along
Just a ghost of a girl
Seen way too much world
Just a ghost of a girl
And I love her
