Ghosts

Sometimes in the night I feel it

Near as my next breath and yet untouchable

Silently the past comes stealing like the taste of some forbidden sweet

Along the walls in shadowed rafters

Moving like a thought through haunted atmospheres

Muted cries and echoed laughter

Banished dreams that never sank in sleep

Lost in love and found in reason

Questions that the mind can find no answers for

Ghostly eyes conspire treason as they gather just outside the door

And every ghost that calls upon us brings another measure in the mystery

Death is there to keep us honest and constantly remind us we are free

(Chorus)

Down the ancient corridors and through the gates of time

Run the ghosts of days that we've left behind

Down the ancient corridors and through the gates of time

Run the ghosts of dreams that we left behind

(Repeat First Verse)

And every ghost that calls upon us brings another measure in the mystery

Death is there to keep us honest and constantly remind us we are free

(Chorus)
