waiting for my ghost

The Tallest Man On Earth

I said some kind of fog
Could be helpful with this kind of sunset
When your eyes see too far
And so deep into life you don t know yet

Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I ve been?
But then just stands right there and look at me
When I don t know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return

I have faith in the night
That they show me what I need to master
I ll be ready, I m here
Since so deep in the doubt, I ve seen laughter

Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I ve been?
But then just stands right there and look at me
When I don t know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return

Why do I always disappear in thought?
I m a captain so mad at sea
And this old room is now my ship somehow
In here waves crashing over me
Waiting for my ghost to return

I will dig where I stand
Though I m tired and longing for pleasure
Then what comes up to me
I will teach them to look like some treasure
Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I ve been?
But then just stands right there and look at me
When I don t know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return
