Ghosts - Danny Schmidt[00:00:00]
Swing swing gallows swing[00:00:18]
From anger back to sorrow[00:00:21]
Morning gets what midnight brings[00:00:24]
And I'll be dead tomorrow[00:00:27]
Just another ghost[00:00:31]
My wife left me last wintertime[00:00:35]
To join another man[00:00:38]
I lost her love forever[00:00:41]
And I lost my mind right then[00:00:43]
When I tried but couldn't picture[00:00:47]
Her sweet face inside my head[00:00:49]
I could only see her lover's grin [00:00:54]
It's true I killed him dead[00:00:56]
But I've always been an honest man [00:01:13]
As crystal as the sea[00:01:16]
I've always said when I've done wrong [00:01:19]
And I've said when wrong's done me[00:01:21]
So listen to my warning though[00:01:25]
I know it might sound strange[00:01:27]
To those who cast condoning eyes[00:01:31]
Upon me when I hang[00:01:34]
And let me tell you what I've learned [00:01:50]
What my guilty mind has seen[00:01:52]
Of life and then of death and[00:01:56]
Then how ghosts get stuck between[00:01:58]
There's no slamming doors [00:02:01]
No rattling chains [00:02:03]
No long black veils at night[00:02:05]
But you'd wish there was cause[00:02:08]
Then you might could die[00:02:10]
To put things right[00:02:12]
But ghosts have got no bodies left [00:02:27]
And ghosts have got no will[00:02:30]
There just etchings on your conscience[00:02:33]
By the hands that had them killed[00:02:36]
And the world it all looks yellow now [00:02:40]
And every breath is foul[00:02:42]
And the water tastes like rancid oil [00:02:46]
And the mockingbirds just howl[00:02:48]
And you can never touch someone you love [00:02:52]
It'll burn them if you try[00:02:54]
And the face inside the mirror stares back[00:02:58]
With goldfish bowls for eyes[00:03:01]
And the only dream you ever have[00:03:04]
Is of lying there awake[00:03:07]
And it never rains upon your head [00:03:10]
It spits into your face[00:03:13]
A ghost has haunted me[00:03:15]
And worn me thin[00:03:20]
I got what I deserved[00:03:23]
A thousand times again[00:03:26]
Oh listen please -- my final words[00:03:28]
Before you bring yourself[00:03:36]
To watch the final length of cord[00:03:38]
Cause ghosts don't die[00:03:55]
When hands take hands [00:03:57]
And ghosts are not released[00:03:59]
It's ash to ash and dust to dust [00:04:02]
Or beast and back to beast[00:04:05]
I hope your heart is large[00:04:08]
And that there's room enough in you[00:04:10]
For the ghost you choose to make of me[00:04:13]
And the ghost that haunts me too[00:04:17]
Swing swing gallows swing[00:04:33]
From anger back to sorrow[00:04:36]
Hide your eyes and wash your wings[00:04:40]
Cause I'll be dead tomorrow[00:04:42]
Just another ghost[00:04:46]
