Ghost Story
Written by Karliene Reynolds

LYRICS

Oh, hear the wind
It knows my name
It sings my sorrow
And howls my pain
Through hollow halls
Where now I weep
Forever bound
I cannot leave

My broken heart can never sleep
Your stony heart will never weep
You took my life
And left the bones
You left our house
And left my ghost

If only you had cared to weep
To lay my wretched ghost to sleep
You took my life
You left my bones
You left our house
And left my ghost

Weeping, weeping

In darkness now
I weep alone
And haunt the ruins
We once called home
All while you lay
In her warm arms
And sing the songs
That once were ours

My broken heart can never sleep
Your stony heart will never weep
You took my life
And left my bones
You left our house
And left my ghost

If only you had cared to weep
To lay my wretched ghost to sleep
You took my life
You left my bones
You left our house
And left my ghost

Weeping, weeping

[Greye]

Such a hauntingly beautiful song and so sad. Karliene, you have a way of touching the hearts and souls of your listeners with your music and, you do it with grace and elegance. You're an amazing artist. Best wishes and a lovely season to you. 💖🌱

[ukiyo-e_inyo]

This song is hauntingly beautiful, yet its comforting and very sad.

[chriswhite]

Beautiful, as always. Now I am ready for Halloween!

[nicoleryan]

This makes me think of so many memories. "In darkness now, I weep alone." That broke me.
Beautiful. Your words are poetically magical.

[karinandersson]

Heartwrenching sadness. A whole novel told in the space of a few minutes. Thank ypu for your beautiful songs.

[anabelcamacho]

It's not a complete Halloween without Karliene songs. ❤️

[RosemaryMoonriseMusic]

From every chord, note and word, I can feel your pain.
It's coming in cold, empty, gutwrenching and so alone.
I know I'm a stranger half across the world, but if you're reading this Karliene, I hope you know and feel that you are *NOT* alone. You've got people that love you, your essence, your soul we get to glimpse through your art. We've been with you for years, we've seen you grow and develop and we walked with you. We walk with you now, through the darkness and wilderness of your loss and grief. You are not alone. You are loved.
Sending big warm hugs into the cold empty house 🫂🌏💞

What a perfect song for this time of year when the days get shorter and you go to work in the dark.

[Nanaya]

Perfectly epitomises the bittersweet poignancy of a love lost.
That sense of loss which never leaves us that’s truly ruthless in its never ending persistence.

This song could as well be a pov for the woman in black by Susan Hill:Jennet's ghost inside the Eel Marsh House, singing for her dead son Nathaniel, while Arthur(portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe in the 2012 film) is walking into it and hears her.🫣
It's not my fault whenever Karliene sings I daydream of Victorian lore inspired novels and movies!😊❤

[GryphonBrokewing]

Sad for the pain that inspired this art, Karliene. Glad you were able to transform it into art. Sending healing wishes to you.

[KerriB]

It makes me want to write a ghost story. I write paranormal romance so a story about someone falling in love with a ghost wouldn't be too far off from what I normally write ❤

[Skners]

I like how sometimes, not often, but sometimes youtube suggests me such an amazing talents like Karliene is.😊 Listening now every music and feelin & imaginazing the storys she wanted to tell. 🤗

[geofforr]

Authentic. Raw. Your soul is strong and pure. Weep it must...

[Штирлиц-зи]

You know, it's very convenient to study English with your videos. :)
Thank you for the music and the song!

[Good...]

To write and sing words with such passion and depth that wrap around the hearts and minds of all who hear, must surely come from within the soul of a genius. One who has lived through such emotions you then write of?
I thank you from the deepest part of my heart and soul for bringing such magic and feelings to this world
❤🤗😊💖

[neiledwards]

This would be epic for a movie where they are losing hope but make it through with help of a spirit

[Z_purple_Z]

Your voice is literally so beautiful. I can't put into words how great your music is. There are few musical artists that are this good

[CharlieShakesby]

I was a 'ghost' for a while after the breakdown of my marriage! You have captured that sense of loss and betrayal so well! So emotive, yet again! Another stunning performance, thank you Karlene! ❤

[tecky]

I'm a big heavy metal and death metal fan, but for some reason this was a youtube recommendation and I really don't know why. But I'm ok with it, cause I love it. I love Karliene's voice.
