The Ghost Of You

(album: Emerald Island - 2017)

It's 4 AM, I sashay with myself
Couples all surround me
So in love, eyes all aglow
Oh, say you found me
All my steps are memorized
Swaying to a rhythm so nice
Patterns of my feet, tattoo the floor
They're frozen there like ice

I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you

Defying everything, I stay on the floor
Advances are effective
I'm not saying a thing to a soul
To keep my heart protected
Sirens think I get in their way
Their logic won't compute
Instead, I'm adding up the hours I spend
With everyone but you

I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you

They say there's not much difference between a good man and a long drag from a cigarette
Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't
And sometimes you need it, and sometimes you don't
But no one likes a ghost

I dance with the ghost of you
What else can I do?
You seem too far from view
So I dance with the ghost of you
