Your Ghost

Last night I looked for you But you could not be found I felt your ghost in my room Dancing all around & I tried to talk to you But there was no reply I sat up shaking in my bed & then I cried

& I can't explain it There's so much I could say to you & so much is left unsaid & there's nothing I can do Nothing I can do yeah

I played your song last night & drank down my last beer Skyway by Westerberg But you weren't there to hear & I thought I saw an angel With you in the back But when they turned the light down Everything went black
& I thought of your mum & dad In your hometown & your lovely sister & it slowly brought me down Only brought me down yeah

I'd think of your sweet smile & how perfectly it fit To you the world was a cookie jar & you had your hands in it & I wish that I could take All the guns in this sick place & melt them into coins & buy compassion for the human race

& I know that it sounds cliche But I'm tired of this violence & the view is much different When your inside of the fence I'm on the side of the sick fence yeah

Last night I looked for you But you could not be found I felt your ghost in my room Dancing all around & I tried to talk to you But there was no reply I sat up shaking in my bed & then I cried I sat up shaking in my bed
