Ghosts Of Jackson Square Lyrics


Ghost on the streets today doorways of Jackson Square
In tinsel and tap shoes Mardi Gras beads in her hair
And down to the graveyard she wrung out her hands
As if he will meet her all day she standsSo don't leave me and I know you're justified
So don't leave me 'cause a part of you in me diedWe wish ourselves beautiful we cry in the night
And it's not the love you feared but the fall from the height
My personal ledges afraid to look down
My crepe paper bridges enough water to drownSo don't leave me and I know you're justified
So don't leave me 'cause a part of you in me died, diedAnd I see the lonely souls searchin'
But before the heartbreak rose
Draw the curtainI'm a ghost on the streets today surrounded by eyes
I feel them peer through me and my harlequin disguise
If it makes you feel better come join me awhile
'Cause love in my open arms there's love in my spirit's smileSo don't leave me and I know you're justified
So don't leave me 'cause a part of you in me died, died, diedHey hey yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an alternative and indie rock guitar player. While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.

After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far From Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.

He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost In America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.
