Phantom Land
by: Ez3kielYou haunt my days and I
I wanna wish you away
You haunt my dreams and I
I wanna wish you away
You haunt my nights and I
I wanna wish you away
You haunt me weak and I
Phantom Land
You are my phantom land
Phantom Land
You are my phantom land
Blue skies, the eyes over children
Their sweet sips on their lips
Faces filling every space
And then there are the magic ones
With their (?) off their hands
I'm longing for the choice to hear their voices,
Then just to touch them
The candle burns and I
I wanna wish you away
My little heart idiot and I
I wanna wish you away
My angels let the other (?)
I wanna wish you away
Take me I'm your ghost and I
I wanna wish you away
Phantom Land
You are my phantom land
Phantom land
You're my sweet phantom land
You haunt my days and I
You haunt my dreams and I
You haunt my nights and I
