Ghosts Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

Sometimes in the night I feel it 

Near as my next breath 

and yet, untouchable 

Silently the past comes 

stealing 

Like the taste of some forbidden 

sweet. 

Along the walls; in shadowed 

rafters 

Moving like a thought through 

haunted atmospheres 

Muted cries and echoed laughter 

Banished dreams that never 

sank in sleep. 

Lost in love and 

Found in reason 

Questions that the mind can find 

no answers for 

Ghostly eyes 

Conspire treason 

As they gather just outside the door.... 

Every ghost that calls upon us 

Brings another measure 

in the mystery 

Death is there 

To keep us honest 

And constantly remind us 

we are free. 

Down the ancient corridors 

And through the gates of time 

Run the ghosts of days 

That we left behind. 

Down the ancient corridors 

And through the gates of time 

Run the ghosts of dreams 

That we left behind. 

Sometimes in the night I feel it 

Near as my next breath 

and yet, untouchable 

Silently the past comes 

stealing 

Like the taste of some forbidden 

sweet. 

Every ghost that calls upon us 

Brings another measure 

in the mystery 

Death is there 

To keep us honest 

And constantly remind us 

we are free. 

Down the ancient corridors 

And through the gates of time 

Run the ghosts of days 

That we left behind.
