Waiting For My Ghost

I said some kind of fog
 Could be helpful with this kind of sunset
 When your eyes see too far
 And so deep into life you don't know yet
 Why do the hours disappear when I
 Speak so loving of where I've been?
 But then just stands right there and look at me
 When I don't know where to begin
 Waiting for my ghost to return
 ♪
 I have faith in the night
 That they show me what I need to master
 I'll be ready, I'm here
 Since so deep in the doubt, I've seen laughter
 Why do the hours disappear when I
 Speak so loving of where I've been?
 But then just stands right there and look at me
 When I don't know where to begin
 Waiting for my ghost to return
 ♪
 Why do I always disappear in thought?
 I'm a captain so mad at sea
 And this old room is now my ship somehow
 In here waves crashing over me
 Waiting for my ghost to return
 I will dig where I stand
 Though I'm tired and longing for pleasure
 Then what comes up to me
 I will teach them to look like some treasure
 Why do the hours disappear when I
 Speak so loving of where I've been?
 But then just stands right there and look at me
 When I don't know where to begin
 Waiting for my ghost to return
