Optimistic Voices / No Love Dying Lyrics by Cécile McLorin Salvant

Ghost Song

2022

Part I: "Optimistic Voices"
[Verse]
You're out of the woods, you're out of the dark, you're out of the night
Step into the sun, step into the light
Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the face of the Earth or the sky
Hold on to your hats, hold on to your hearts, hold on to your hopes
March up to the gate and bid it open
[Verse]
You're out of the woods, you're out of the dark, you're out of the night
Step into the sun, step into the light
Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the face of the Earth or the sky
Hold on to your hats, hold on to your hearts, hold on to your hopes
March up to the gate and bid it open
[Outro]
You're out of the woods, you're out of the dark, you're out of the night
March up to that gate and bid it open
Open
Open
Open
Open
Open
Open
Open
Part II: "No Love Dying"
[Verse 1]
There will be no love that's dying here
The bird that flew in from my window simply lost his way
He broke his wing, I helped him heal
And then he flew away
The death of love is everywhere, but I won't let it be
There will be no love that's dying here with me
[Verse 2]
There will be no love that's dying here
The mirror that fell from the wall was raggedy, that's all
It rest upon a rusty nail before it made its fall
The bones of love are everywhere, but I won't let it be
There will be no love that's dying here with me
[Verse 3]
There will be no love that's dying here
Four flowers from my Asian vase is not a sign we're dead
I paid for three, a sweet, old lady gave me four instead
There's some doubt that's out about our love, but I won't let it be
There will be no love that's dying here with me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
There will be no love that's dying here
The bird that flew in from my window simply lost his way
He broke his wing, I helped him heal
And then he flew away
The death of love is everywhere, but I won't let it be
There will be no love that's dying here with me
There will be no love that's dying here with me
There will be no love that's dying here with me
There will be no love that's dying here with me
