Lantern By Sea - Ghost Story

There’s nobody left by your side
I figured in your memory I already died
Yet how could I have waited for you dear
How I waited for you dear, tonight

In a ghost town where nobody stirs
I’ll flutter the lights, they’ll hum and they’ll whir
I probably shouldn’t visit anymore
But my curious core won’t stop

So bury me bright in the old summer rains
I’ve been here before, I can’t do this again
When you say what I already know

I'm the ghost
I'm the ghost
Let me go

I was never too good at goodbyes
I’d pace the backyard beneath a veil of light
Oh, how was I supposed to move on
With a love not gone away?

On this long road I’ve been so alone
Passing through towns that I’ll never call home
But God I wouldn’t take another path
If my will can last the night

So bury me bright in the old summer rains
I’ve been here before, I can’t do this again
When you say what I already know

I'm the ghost
I'm the ghost

So I’ll wait for you here in the morning
Just to see you on the other side
‘Neath the orchard trees where I'm wandering
Between the roads where the feeling dies

When you lost my depth
Did you sink through me?
Did you find that I'm still buried in eternity?

So I’ll say what you already know
I'm the ghost
I'm the ghost
Let me go

So I’ll wait for you here in the morning
Just to see you on the other side
‘Neath the orchard trees where I'm wandering
Between the roads where the feeling dies

And the golden coast keeps yawning
I think it’s been calling me back to life
To the edge of this world where I'm going
I’ll see you on the other side
