Farewell

Give Up The Ghost

Whatever this becomes 
Whatever words I say 
We are the fortunate ones... 
And when the days are done 

I won't forget 
All I see in you and me 
Is a light in the dark of humanity 
And when the days are done 

I won't forget 
Timid steps - come walk with me 
And with your useless words 
Come talk to me 

There are broken hearts 
Now on your stereo 
But the broken beats are just too slow 
You'll cry - it doesn't change a thing 

Kill the lights - and let the rain fall 
Recall - the memories 
Of yesterdays and better ways 
And know - the innocence is gone... 

Move on - from this day on 
We'll never be the same... 
The saddest songs 
Make sense to me... 

So with your sunken eyes 
Come talk to me 
Two hour drives 
Are two hours alone 

But two hour drives 
Are better than home 
You'll die - it doesn't change a thing 
You will - kill the lights 

And let the rain fall - recall 
The memories of yesterdays 
And better ways 
And know - the innocence is gone... 

Move on - from this day on 
We'll never be the same... 
Faster words - and faster kids 
Faster songs - and faster ends 

The one thing that's stayed the same... 
I've lived through days 
I've lived through nights 
I've had my loves 

I've had my fights 
You gotta know - you have my heart
