Spirit World  I remember every word you said Or I remember what I misinterpreted  But I remember, how could I forget Now you're gone, I think I'll lose my mind Dead and gone, I study evil all the time I miss you, baby, but I can't bare saying goodbye So come on in and close the door Don't stand out in the cold no more I been waiting oh so long To have you back where you belong Close to me, close enough to smell Close to me, and further from this hell I love you, baby.... Baby, can't you tell She spent a lot of money on me When I had no money And we sat around the table drinking tea That old enormous table Oh and I still miss that girl  And I still wish that we had tried This love has never died She liked to go to barrooms Guaranteed, you'd find her in a barroom And we had a little baby  Oh but she didn't want no baby Oh and I still miss that girl And I still wish that we had tried This love has never died So come on in and close the door Don't stand out in the cold no more I been waiting oh so long To have you back where you belong Close to me, close enough to smell Close to me, and the spirit world I love you, baby.... Baby, can't you tell  Copyright Van Walker 2020

about

Spirit World is the spellbinding lead single from Van Walker’s first solo album in a decade, reminding us once again why he's rightly regarded as one of the finest songwriters in the land.
From the formidable forthcoming album Ghosting, the song is a haunted, mysterious composition, as straight-up vulnerable as it is mercurial, but someone is missing someone, and dabbling in the dark arts as a means to bring them back, dead or alive!
The song, like much of the album, is stark and brutally honest, with just bass and fingerstyle acoustic guitar, and the added spark of Australia's most revered roots musicians and no stranger to disturbed folk, guitar wizard Jeff Lang weaving his magic on dobro between the enchanted lyric of reverie and sorcery.
