Ghost Lights Lyrics by The Morningside

Letters from the Empty Town

2014

[The first verse] :
Outside the city
The sunset died away
Mist is rising dripping out on my gown

Across the flatlands
Where swamps absorbed the day
Ghostly lights through the night lead me down
The woods a little way

[Chorus] :
Turn the pages
Of the foliage and admire
The book of misty night

In the deep woods
Witches dance beside the fire
I follow distant light

[The second verse] :
Before Iʼve walked on
I dropped my pack and froze
At the edge of the depths luring me

Hidden by the starlight
Not far or not too close
The old man who I will never be
Mourns for the boy I was

[Chorus] :
Turn the pages
Of the foliage and admire
The book of misty night

In the deep woods
Witches dance around the fire
I follow distant light

*Solo*

[Speaking] :
- Hiya !
- Hi, man !
- How are you doing ?
- Not bad. Did you hear that Old Jim has checked out ?
- Yeah
- Smoke ?
- Would be nice. Thanks
- Whatʼs that paper ?
- Donʼt know. Robbed a man at the station. Got a wallet and the paper. Some cash and this
'We are leaving the City as itʼs vanishing behind our backs, to be born somewhere in front
To arise as a grey monster, having changed the face before we step on its streets
Every corner of it hides fear. Its rivers are desiring our coins to tie us to it forever
We are running further, somewhere we believe everything is different. But it is appearing
Before us again and again — a haunting spirit — the symbol of eternal jail and flouncing freedom. And we are welcoming it hoping for a miracle.'
- A good beginning for a book
- Maybe you can become a writer ? Half a bookʼs already in the bag
- Yeah
