GHOSTS
Pick your battles he said, pick them carefully, don’t climb a mountain when you can crawl gingerly
Pick your friends for keeps, pick your lovers for less, isn’t it remarkable how messy it gets?
It’s a long way back, a long way back, a long way back, since we were close, the past becomes a ghost
Queen of disappointment, hangs her head down low, feeling sorry for herself, it’s all she knows
Funny how the pain comes like a rush to the head, who wants to be happy when there’s drama instead?
It’s a long way back, a long way back, a long way back, since we were close, the past becomes a ghost
See the coast in the pouring rain, see New Jersey slipping away, foreign girls float away, the ghost of yesterday
It’s a long way back, a long way back, a long way back, since we were close, the past becomes a ghost
