This perfect day
 We make our way to the end of it
 With perfect grace
 I lay my head in your lap and walk away
 These days are sweet and strange
 We're happy in our star-scattered way
 Always

 In this my life
 In this my life as a ghost
 In this my life
 My happy life as a ghost

 I've been lifting out the stains from the stones
 Planting flowers where you'll never find my bones
 Seven sisters seven stars shooting home
 Shouts and whispers of a better fight in better times
 A day for the sweet and strange
 Or happy in some star-shattered way
 Our way

 In this my life
 In this my life as a ghost
 In this my life
 My happy life as a ghost

 This perfect day
 I lay my shield at your feet and beg to stay
