Ghost of Me

[Verse] In the hollowed woods of yonder Where the shadows tend to wander A phantom drifts beneath the trees Searchin’ for the cure The ghost of me [Verse 2] At night the crickets serenade While in the dark my spirit fades A hauntin' wail so soft and low For a life I lost Someone I'll never know [Chorus] I'm the ghost of me A wanderin’ tune A driftin’ soul beneath the moon Searchin’ for the cure An antidote From the poison of a life remote [Bridge] By the river's edge The silence speaks Of dreams unseen and hearts that seek Talent buried deep Will it ever rise? Or remain a secret in the starless skies? [Verse 3] I see the folks in town don’t know The pressin' weight of an unseen woe Faces blur like autumn leaves While I pine for what my spirit grieves [Chorus] I'm the ghost of me A wanderin’ tune A driftin’ soul beneath the moon Searchin’ for the cure An antidote From the poison of a life remote
