The Ghost Walks Lyrics - Duncan Browne

At the end of the day there's a man going back to his room 

And his final performance expected to start very soon 

Will be an exclusive view well accorded 

For those who saw his début and applauded 

With the turn of a page he returns to the days of his youth 

In his mind he forgets the difference 'twixt fiction and truth 

The critics compared him to Kean, and his Hamlet 

Brought tears to the eyes of the Queen at the Alhambra 

Was it so long ago when the people stood up on their chairs ? 

And the women would wait in the rain for a lock of his hair ? 

How they would cheer when the curtain descended 

Those were the days when applause never ended

Autographed programmes and pictures he always keeps near 

And a make-up box given to him on the last night of Lear 

Sir Beerbohm Tree, silk cravat, Irving's type in 

And Mistinguette's kiss wrapped in satin 

At the end of the day the old man sits alone in his room 

And he knows that the company assembled before him quite soon 

Will see a young man at the peak of his calling 

Turning his face to the storm of applause 'round him falling

So he carefully dresses and waits as the lights start to fade 

For his favourite audience knows that he isn't afraid 

And he smiles at a world that he can't understand 

He's drifting away, for the start of the play is at hand
