Whisper Of The Ghost

Chasing memories like they are something to remember

All I see when I look at you are the tears that will fall later

Not today and not tomorrow but in the future

My heart breaks as your frail body goes to waste

From black to white I see you struggle to breath

Smoke over the eyes and yet you puff away

Stories coming through each time new never seeing the end

Only one day when the bright light shines will you come back to life

Now not alive just not dead for the night, you sleep where you stand

Coming back maybe for one last time I see the pain

One pain in you one pain in me one pain for us all

Robbing me of the good things I only see the bad

Only remembering the ghosts of you and me

The voices fade to whispers as you drift away

And for this I cannot blame you and I can't blame life

Sickness, I wait for its entrence into the room

Waltzing in like you are king of the world

Hating every moment that I'm not there

But when I see your flesh falling from the bone I must go

Thinking of you I smile but to witness destroies the soul

So old and gold with so much more to teach and know

Now stay awhile, please don't go please don't go
