Dearly Departed Lyrics

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Well
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets just a-rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

You used to bite, I used to moan
But now I'm mumbling and you choke
Well I ain't so scary on my own
Tell me honey, what's a dagger without a cloak?
Well I don't know

'Cause
You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets just a-rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

In the midnight hour, you came alive
I was looking for my crystal ball
I busy trying to charm that snake
When the sun came up we had no place to hide
And you had to tell your friends that my things where fake
I just had to

You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets just a-rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

But even when one is dead and gone
It still take two to make a house a home
Well I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
I hear you call my name but no one's there
Except a new one in the air

You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is you
You used to walk around screaming, all slamming all 'dem doors
Well I'm all grown up now and I don't scare easy no more

But you and I both know
Ooh
Yeah you and I both know
Ooh
Yeah you and I both know
Ooh
Ooh

What is the Meaning of Dearly Departed?

In a hauntingly beautiful tale, Shakey Graves weaves a spectral narrative of love and loss. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that once thrived in the shadows, now lingering like a ghost in an empty house. The "haunted house" represents memories and emotions that refuse to fade, while the "ghost" symbolizes the lingering presence of past love. As time passes, what once seemed thrilling and mysterious now feels eerie and desolate. This song captures the bittersweet essence of moving on from something that still haunts you, reminding us that even when love is gone, its echoes remain. #HauntedLove #GhostsOfThePast #BittersweetMemories
