I'll be your apron
I'll be your fire
I'll keep it cooking
when you've grown tired
I'll be the sulfur on the match you strike
I'll be a candle
cos we're born upright
I'll be a good girl
I'll dress up nice
The times they're hard now
I'll treat you right

Don't fall in love if they are far away
Don't fall in love if they're too close
Don't fall in love if you hold onto your things
Don't fall in love with ghosts

And come and rest your head and let me hear the words you have to say
And in the war zone, my mother cried
she'd lost a brother to the other side
I loved the schoolboy who held me tight
We'd fought like wild dogs and we danced all night

Don't fall in love if you are far away
Don't fall in love if they're too close
Don't fall in love if you hold onto your things
And you know that I love you the most
And you know that I love you the most
Oh my baby, I'm afraid of ghosts

And in the hallway, I kissed ya twice
now you need counseling for sound advice

Don't fall in love if you are far away
Don't fall in love if they're too close
Don't fall in love if you hold onto your things

And you know that I love you the most
And you know that I love you the most
Oh my baby, I'm afraid of ghosts
Oh my baby, I'm afraid of ghosts
