Verse 1
Grandmother's beads are scattered on the floor
Sunday light through the lace that used to roar
Candle wax is dripping down her old wooden frame
I keep remembering where love was written in the flame
She'd say, 'Listen close and you'll hear the past','Not just the drums but every breath that lasts','Every time we lit this altar bright
It kept our names together through the dark of night
Pre-Chorus
So I hold the space where fire used to be
And I let my heartbeat guide me back to thee
Can you feel it too? This warmth in your chest
Is it just a memory or is it truly blessed?
Chorus
Ghosts in gold, they're still with me
Burning softly like an ember sea
I keep the spark that never went away
Ghosts in gold, they light up every day
Verse 2
Uncle Leo taught me how to weave a shawl so fine
Grandfather's pocket watch kept ticking out of time
Ink on parchment told stories we'll never know
But these two hands still moving helped our love grow
I fold the collar, iron flat and neat
Every stitch is proof that what they gave won't retreat
Even when their voices left this mortal air
Their hands were always holding me with love to spare
Pre-Chorus
So I hold the space where fire used to be
And I let my heartbeat guide me back to thee
Can you feel it too? This warmth in your chest
Is it just a memory or is it truly blessed?
Chorus
Ghosts in gold, they're still with me
Burning softly like an ember sea
I keep the spark that never went away
Ghosts in gold, they light up every day
Bridge
Maybe love doesn't really die at all
It just becomes a fire burning through the wall
Inside my chest where it was always home
This is what I know and this is not a ghost alone
Chorus
Ghosts in gold, they're still with me
Burning softly like an ember sea
I keep the spark that never went away
Ghosts in gold, they light up every day
