Ghost Of My Best Friend

It felt too real to be a dream
We were getting high on gasoline
Sitting on the banks where the river bends

We laughed and danced and sang
And we talked about everything
Sitting here with the ghost of my best friend

And you couldn't tell me much
About the afterlife and such
Just about the beauty of the end

You said no need to be afraid
And I'd understand it all someday
Just sit here with the ghost of your best friend

Wish this night could last forever
Wish this moment had no end
And if this is a dream
Please, don't wake me from my sleep
Cause I'm sitting here with the ghost of my best friend

The sun was sinking down
Stars lit up this river town
I noticed tears were falling in your hands
Dreams you knew you'd never see
I swear you'll see them now through me
Traveling with the ghost of my best friend

Then you said you had to go
But you wanted me to know
You'd put a word in for me if you can

Before you turned around to leave
You came and put your arms 'round me
And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend

Wish this night could last forever
Wish this moment had no end
And if this is a dream
Please, don't wake me from my sleep
Cause I'm sitting here with the ghost of my best friend

It felt too real to be a dream
We were high on gasoline
Sitting where the river starts to bend

Before you turned around to leave
You came and threw your arms round me
And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend
So glad, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend
Oh Lord, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend
