Living With The Ghost歌词

Marry me to the blue sky

Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
Meet me where they stop time

That's you to me on the shovel
That's digging this grave
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam

Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream

Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind

I ain't living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I've seen that hate has done to hop

Tomorrow wasn't built to last

I ain't living with the ghost

How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't living with the ghost

I set my sails over wheat fields

Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face
I dropped the sword put down my shield

I left your scars for the stars guiding my way
I traded hurting for healing

I must admit that I was reeling
Now I'm feeling just fine
Traded nightmares for dreaming

Go tell your shadows that I got out alive

I ain't living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I've seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last

I ain't living with the ghost

How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline

I ain't living with the ghost

Oh oh

Last night I had this dream
I saw a man wash his feet
In the church holy water
He worked up to his knees
From his arms to his neck
Said I'm over in my head
He was crying trying to get some relief

Lord I'm just trying to get some relief

I had this dream

That man was me

I ain't living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I've seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't living with the ghost

How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline
Now I ain't living with the ghost
