Ghost

I fell asleep last night
Still holding on
to this picture
I recall we made back then

You looked so lost and fragile
as if you were
waiting for someone
to take you home again

If I had known that day
what words to say
if I had known
whatever might have come our way

I saw your smile
just for a while
and then you where
disappearing from my sight

And through all this
I saw this light
so soft and sad
that seemed to unveil all I've missed

This ghost of you
that keeps me waiting
for something new
whilst contemplating
as time stands still
at my own will
This ghost of you
is what I long for

This ghost of you
is like a starsign
that's shining through
it's almost divine
it keeps me warm
it does no harm
This ghost of you
is always soothing

That ghost of you
in every raindrop
I'm walking through
I wish this won't stop
though wet and cold
though feeling old
That ghost of you
will keep me going
