Got sixteen days

One for every time I've gone away
                         
One for every time I should have stayed
                    
Should have wore my wedding ring
     
Got sixteen days

Fifteen of those are nights
                     
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
              
It's way back to your side
         
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
                           
Away from you away from you away
         
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
                           
Away from you away from you away
    
Got sixteen days

Got a bottle and a rosary
                         
God I wish that you were close to me
                     
I guess I owe you an apology
    
Got sixteen days

Fifteen of those are nights
                     
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
             
Its way back to your side
         
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
                                  
Away from you away from you away
         
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
                           
Away from you away from you away
                                   
Old tin cups, little paper dolls
                        
All wrapped up, in ribbons bows and hearts
                           
Old tin cups, and little paper dolls
                      
All wrapped up, in the ribbons of your heart

I got sixteen days

Sixteen days

I got sixteen days

It's like a fool I am
