The Ghost Lyrics by William Sumner

The Ghost

2022

[Verse 1]
Do you know
From what you're told
There's a ghost?
And are your eyes
Unsatisfied
Between the lines?
And are you warm
Outside the door
With your blue lips torn?

[Chorus]
Oh, will you make your mind up?
Will you hold out on dry luck
And just wait 'til your time is up?

[Verse 2]
Could you believe
That's what you see?
Bow to the screen
It smiles and sings
So soft and sweet
With poetry
And maybe you're warm
Outside the door
Ever since the storm

[Chorus]
So will you make your mind up?
Will you hold out on dry luck
And just wait 'til your time is up?
And will you say that your life's one
That you found the place where gold runs?
But when you lay down, was it all for none?
Will you go back to your first love?
Where your tеars ring and your heart puffed?
And your feet move likе they've never run

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Why should I swing the door
For a hollow, rotted, pompous floor?
Scandal for my affections
And senseless loss of life
But then you ran to tell me twice
That you are more than air and starry-eyed
Step from your silver clouds
And shared under heavy [hours?]

[Chorus]
Now has my heart just begun
And I'll trade gold for a spring of
A life that ever runs
And I'll go back to my first love
Where my tears ring and my heart puffed
And my feet move like they've never run
