GHOST

 

I fell asleep last night

Still holding on to this picture 

I recall we made back then

 

You looked so lost and fragile

as if you were waiting for someone 

to take you home again

 

If I had known that day what words to say

if I had known whatever might have come our way

 

I saw your smile just for a while

and then you where disappearing from my sight

 

And through all this I saw this light

so soft and sad that seemed to unveil all I’ve missed

 

This ghost of you that keeps me waiting

for something new whilst contemplating

 

as time stands still at my own will

 

This ghost of you is what I long for

This ghost of you is like a starsign that’s shining through

it’s almost divine

 

it keeps me warm

it does no harm

This ghost of you is always soothing

That ghost of you in every raindrop I’m walking through

 

I wish this won’t stop though wet and cold though feeling old

That ghost of you will keep me going
