Every Ghost

You all think you know what you see
As you spot me in the doorway
Watch your eyes look up to the sky
You never look this ghost in the eye
Every ghost, every ghost has a story

You seem to think I chose this world
Want a cardboard, cold life
People don't break their stride passing me
They don't care who this ghost might be
Every ghost, every ghost
Every ghost, every ghost has a story

Sitting here in a winter's doorway
Sleep if the night's not too cold
Life just seems to fall away from me
And I've not got the strength to hang on

I remember a life like the one you have now
Picture postcard family
Lost my job, was the start of it all
Drink and demons completed the fall
Every ghost, every ghost
Every ghost, every ghost has a story

Sitting here in a winter's doorway
Sleep if the night's not too cold
Life just seems to fall away from me
And I've not got the strength to hang on

When you see shimmers just like me
Imagine the life that got 'em there
Try and listen to the stories they tell
Hear all of the harrow and the hell
Every ghost, every ghost
Every ghost, every ghost has a story
