I won’t see the sun today
A month of overcast
Blue skies of yesterday
Have slipped into the past.

Everything is running down
Far away and close
Like the sun I’ll fade away
I’ll become a ghost.

While I wander everywhere
Unseen and unheard
I’ll see the harm around
But I won’t say a word.

Call a witness, swear an oath
Say what I believe
Let the ghost that I’ve become
Survive and never leave.

Chorus
Oh, no, here I go
Bringing everyone down
Am I the only one who can
Hear the siren sound

A ghost ship sails the seas
Until it runs aground
Slowly slips beneath the waves
And hardly makes a sound.

Now, it’s a panoramic view
From my castle wall
People hurry everywhere
And I can see it all

I have a choice, find my voice
To be seen and heard
But I’ll just take it all in
And never say a word.

Chorus

Unwound and unbound
I can sail free
Stay apart from the crowd
Find the ghost in me.

In time, a price will come
From distance and delay
Words will fail me when I have
Something I want to say.

Chorus
