Ghost
By: Noah Eaton
8/26/01

I embrace her only in my dreams
She draws me into her soft embrace
Feeling loves first kiss finally redeem
Hopping over the hedgerows of this destiny's maze
And then...she vanishes
Before my eyes can even see...

So I climb the highest mountains
Glimpsing out from my passions crest
I stroked my ship to sea
All for the best
And I meditated for the calling
Bargaining for all of my pride
But it's just no use
I can't see what inside

All my love is just a ghost
I bleed silently when I need you the most
Reveal yourself please...to me
Reveal yourself please...for me...

When crying on my bed
Seems like the only thing that makes sense
I close my eyes and seek your invitation
I keep my wings and sacrifice all the rest
Like I'm a fugitive heading for cover from the world
To fall into your arms and find a comfortable place to hide
From these storm clouds that restrain my reasoning
I feel the closest to heaven, when I look into your eyes

And then your hand slips from mine
I can't see you blitzing by
Reveal yourself please...to me
Reveal yourself please...for me...

I witness out my window a completely different impression
Yellow roses blooming on the lawn, blanketed in the cedars
There I see you come again, wearing a silk veil
And I welcome you into my soul, and together we surrender
Bending in to kiss your cherry lips, like New York at 3 A.M
Carrying you into paradise, like it's
And then you fade into the white, like Romeo lost his Juliet
I've given up everything I've possessed

Your love was just a ghost
I've got to have you close
Reveal yourself please...to me
Reveal yourself please...for me
Reveal yourself please...to me
Reveal yourself please...for me

I'm still running
I'm still waiting
I'm still dreaming
I'm still thinking
You're still crying
You're still yearning
You're still searching
All because of me

Your love is just a ghost of me...
My love is just a ghost of you...
Reveal yourself please...to me
And I promise you, I will reveal myself for you...

.... she'll never return, trust me.... once true love is lost, you become that ghost.
