Among The Ghosts

(album: Among The Ghosts - 2018)

Back home, a fire they keep
Out here, the cold wind blows
I did not want to leave
I wonder if she knows
The first word she said
To me was goodbye

In the west, the sky grows darker
Back east, the sun will rise
Back home, my wife and daughter
Don't know where I am tonight
But soon I will find
A road that leads home

A man could die out here, they'd never know
No longer will I walk among the ghosts
Even though I left so long ago
I got someone waiting back at home
We got married down in Texas, Texas
A little daughter of my own

And she doesn't care about
The cold wind that carried this song
All the she knows right now
Is that her father's still gone
The first word she learned
To say was goodbye

A man could die out here, they'd never know
No longer will I walk among the ghosts
Even though I left so long ago
I got someone waiting back at home
We got married down in Texas, Texas
A little daughter of my own

Alright

A man could die out here, they'd never know
No longer will I walk among the ghosts
Even though I left so long ago
I got someone waiting back at home
We got married down in Texas, Texas
A little daughter of my own

Life out here is getting reckless, reckless
Better find my way back home
We got married down in Texas, Texas
Our little girl will soon be grown
I can't stay, I'm getting restless, restless
You're gonna have to let me go
