Graveyard Dancer from 96K by Garris
I wrote this song for one of my closest friends in university.
She was a voice of feminine wisdom and love in those years.
The final line is a plea for joy in the midst of death and loss, for ecstatic dance in a graveyard, celebrating the coming and going, while still allowing grief to have it's pedestal

Lyrics
Hold on, sister,
I'd hate to see you go,
Takin' orders from a heart that's lost control,
And when you reach out,
I'll just pass straight through your bones,
Because you can - you can - you can not touch a ghost.
Speak up, sister!
I'm curious to know,
What you're keeping' from a heart burned down to coals,
Since you don't need me,
I can turn my heart to stone,
Because I will - I will - I will not love a ghost!
A graveyard dancer is what I need,
To speak the answer and turn the key,
Someone to show me what I need, hey,
Someone to show me how to be...
