  • I know a place between
    Life and death for you and me
    Best take hold on the threshold
    Of eternity

    And see the ghost on the canvas
    People don't see us
    Ghost on the canvas
    People don't know
    When they're looking at soul

    In between here and there
    There is a place that we can grow
    The spirits make love in the wheat field
    With crows

    Like a ghost on the canvas
    People don't see them!
    Ghost on the canvas
    No, they never see soul

    Ring around the rosary
    Pocket full of prose you read
    Ashes to ashes, we all fall in love
    With ghosts on the canvas

    We dream in color
    Others they color their dreams
    It takes one to know one
    The spirit always knows what it sees

    Like a ghost on the canvas
    Never can have us
    Ghost on a canvas
    It's the soul that makes them grow

    People don't know
    When they're looking at soul
    Better take hold
    I'm the ghost on the canvas Writer/s: Paul Westerberg
