There's a ghost of a girl

And she's waiting for me

She lives in my room

In the shadows



And her eyes never sleep

They keep watch over me

Like a mother, a guard

Like an angel



I remember her well

From a far other side

A seeker, seeking some place

To discover or to hide



She chose a left turn

I guess it must have looked clear

Now she's a ghost of a girl

And her footprints lead her here



If she has her regrets

She keeps them locked up inside

Or shares them with someone

In the shadows



She let her impatient heart

Sweep her logic away

Now she's suspended in time

Like a dream the next day



Now she's a ghost of a girl

I can meet her half way

And my ghost of a girl

Says she wants me to stay
