As the autumn wind whispers through
The tall and lonely pines
And the hour of fate is drawing close at hand
A free bird falling from the sky
Brings a bitter end to another southern man

There's a grey ghost running through the night
Echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost running through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will remain

The fast life and the music is just a grim disguise
For the heartache and the fear of growing old
Without the ones that mean the most
Makes you realize
You're the one who's left out in the cold

There's a grey ghost running through the night
Echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost running through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will remain

The dealer of death has dealt the losing hand
And it's a cold fact the cards don't ever lie
You're the fire, dream of things to come
And such a price to pay
When the memories are all that's left behind

There's a grey ghost running through the night
Echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost running through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will remain
