Conversation With A Ghost

CONVERSATION WITH A GHOST

Don’t kill the light

I’m scared half to death

the fire burns cold

trying hard to catch my breath

words escape me

hold me prisoner with my thoughts

drinking from a broken cup

praying to an empty cross

The devil finds a man

with too much time on his hands

all the time in the world

we had all the time in the world

don’t leave me lonely

my angel left my side 

a dark well down in me 

left my wounds open wide 

break the silence

it drives arrows through my heart

sit and talk with me a while

just be a voice in the dark

EXPIRATION DATE

I came into your life 

with a bag of dreams

You landed onto mine 

carried by the stream

Just like two castaways 

floating out to sea 

we were lost in a haze 

wondering who we wanna be

Reflected in your eyes

my heart soaked in wine 

we leaned side by side

howling at the moon

your face so pale in the light, 

my hand on your heart

you hold it tight

so we won’t drift apart

Hold it to the end of times

just let the morning wait

we can pretend this love 

won’t have an expiration date 

I’ll watch you fly away

like a lost balloon

into the light of day 

forever out of view

if water is just sand 

playing tricks with the eyes

just block the sun out with your hand 

and see what you want to see

Hold me till the end of times

just let the morning wait

we can pretend this love 

won’t have an expiration date
