Something to Bleed

The Ghost

I will play the lost one  drowning in the mighty sea

You can play the lady  looking sadly down at me

He can be your hero  holding you in his arms

Telling you he loves you  dazzling you with his charm

     

     I will be the ghost who haunts you two

     I will be the ghost who changes the mood

     I will be the ghost who scares the hell out of you

 

Oh at night when you dream  you only dream of me

How I tell you I love you  but you only scream "let me be"

Don't you call for your hero  I'll only scare him to his grave

With my games and dark tricks  your sweet soul he can't save

 

     I will be the ghost who haunts you two

     I will be the ghost who changes the mood

     I will be the ghost who scares the hell out of you

 

Oh at night when you love him  I will whisper in your ear

All our distant memories  he will only see your tears

He will try to play the hero  saving you from the pain

Little does he know  that I'll be back time and time and time again

 

     I will be the ghost who haunts you two

     I will be the ghost who changes the mood

     I will be the ghost who scares the hell out of you

Shining Star

You drive away in your car    Just left me at the bar

Headed home to him    In fantasy I swim

And drink another one    Still burning from the Sun

Captured in your eyes    In Heaven's light I realize

 

     You're a shining star     I could follow far

     You drive me crazy

     Will there be a day    When I hear you say

     I love you, baby

 

Your power's all over me    Like flowers in a tree

But nothin' doin' right now    I've gotta shake this somehow

'Cause I'm a good-hearted man    Trapped in his caravan

Of woulda-coulda days    And half-written plays

 

     And you're a shining star    I could follow far

     You drive me crazy

     Will there be a day    When I hear you say

     I love you, baby

 

A smile of sunshine    Lips that taste like wine

Eyes that seem to kiss    And bring me home to bliss

Raven curly hair    All call me to your lair

A devil there exists    I could never resist

 

     'Cause you're a shining star    I could follow far

     You drive me crazy

     Will there be a day    When I hear you say

     I love you, baby

 Here I Am

Thought I'd never see him again    Gone forever they said

Walked to the wooded trees and lost his head

So I headed to the mountains   Searched along the tree line

Baying to the Moon Man above the ridgeline

 

     O where is he    Is he in my head

     And I do believe he might be dead

 

Fell asleep by an old pine    Dreamt of far away places

So many thoughts of the old times and all the old faces

Then I woke to the howling of distant wolves and coyotes

Made me feel I belonged there with the critters and trees

 

     O where is he    Is he in my head

     And I do believe he might be dead

 

So I searched over hill and dale through forests and small towns

Till I looked in the mirror and almost fell down

There he was inside of me screaming loudly to get out

Had I really forgotten it all and drowned in self-doubt

 

     O Here I am back from the dead

     And I do believe it was all in my head

1000 Roses

Here we are alone in your car

Eyes aim close yet so far

If I found my voice and made a choice

To say the words of rejoice

     

     So we dance 'round romance

     So we play afraid

 

There we run to bars for our fun

Minds wander lost    lust has won

If I open the door to my soul's 13th floor

Touch your heart at the core

 

     So we dance 'round romance

     So we play afraid

     So it goes    1000 Roses

     Petals blowing away

 

Here I stand a proud broken man

Watch you slip from my hand

With no denial I'll stand here awhile

Nod my head and smile

 

     So we dance 'round romance

     So we play afraid

     So it goes    1000 Roses

     Petals blowing away
