Halcyon Days Lyrics by Siobhán Donaghy

Ghosts

2007

[Verse 1]
So wake up hope, it's dark and lonesome
I can hardly, hardly kid open my eyes
It ain't lonely, I'm homely
So he comes home, she's hating him some
He can hardly, hardly stand up in his home
Oh, the aching, na-na

[Chorus]
In a stream of purest thought
Nothing's lost that can't be caught
It's tender to behold
As the past melts away
I shore up holes, lest they give way
Halcyon days of ages old

[Verse 2]
Them knee cap words are crushing him down
It gets harder and harder to get over them now
He can fight, it ain't over
So was he wrong in hoping it right?
You can hardly, hardly blame in him some
Oh, the hurting, na-na

[Chorus]
In a stream of purest thought
Nothing's lost that can't be caught
It's tender to behold
As the past melts away
I shore up holes, lest they give way
Halcyon days of ages old

[Chorus]
In a stream of purest thought
Nothing's lost that can't be caught
It's tender to behold
As the past melts away
I shore up holes, lest they give way
Halcyon days of ages old

[Bridge]
It's tender to behold, ooh
Tender to behold

[Chorus]
In a stream of purest thought
Nothing's lost that can't be caught
It's tender to behold
As the past melts away
I shore up holes, lest they give way
Halcyon days of ages old

[Chorus]
In a stream of purest thought
Nothing's lost that can't be caught
It's tender to behold
As the past melts away
I shore up holes, lest they give way
Halcyon days of ages old

[Outro]
I wish I could
Ooh
It's tender to behold
It's tender to behold
