Living With the Ghost

Marry me to the blue sky Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain Meet me where they stop time That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave Till I can waltz on a moonbeam Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine I'll hitch my ride to a day dream Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind I ain't living with the ghost No future living in the past I've seen that hate has done to hop Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't living with the ghost How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline I ain't living with the ghost I set my sails over wheat fields Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face I dropped the sword, put down my shield I left your scars for the stars guiding my way I traded hurting for healing I must admit that I was reeling Now I'm feeling just fine Traded nightmares for dreaming Go tell your shadows that I got out alive I ain't living with the ghost No future living in the past I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't living with the ghost How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline I ain't living with the ghost Last night I had this dream I saw a man wash his feet In the church holy water He worked up to his knees From his arms to his neck Said I'm over in my head He was crying trying to get some relief Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief I had this dream That man was me I ain't living with the ghost No future living in the past I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't living with the ghost How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline Now I ain't living with the ghost
