Fogelberg Dan Ghosts Lyrics

Ghosts Lyrics

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....
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.
Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of
time
Run the ghosts of days
That we left behind.
Down the ancient
corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of dreams
That
we left behind.
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.
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.
Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the
ghosts of days
That we left behind.
