Yes I Have Ghosts

  • The heat of the sun stayed on through the night
    Made spectres of strangers playing games with my sight
    I passed through the station, a face in the crowd
    The whistle was blowing, the barrier came down

    There was my baby, in another's embrace
    I called out her name in shame and disgrace

    Yes, I have ghosts, not all of them dead
    Making dust of my dreams, spinning round and around
    Around in my head

    Train on the tracks, teeth of the zip
    The slider moves down, we were joined at the hip
    Stealing the groove, the widening gap
    Unfastening rails from a past with no map

    Yes, I have ghosts, a fleeting sight
    It's always the living that are haunting my nights

    Where is the sweet soul that you used to be
    Gone like a thistle that's blown on the breeze
    I guess when it's over, this haunting will end
    The waiting, the baiting, my killer, my friend

    Yes, I have ghosts, not all of them dead
    And they dance by the moon, millstones white as the sheet
    On my bed Writer/s: David Gilmour, Polly Samson
