Lyrics

Ghosts

When the room is quiet

The daylight almost gone

It seems there's something I should know

Well I ought to leave but

The rain it never stops

And I have no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning

When I've broken every door

The ghosts of my life

Blow wilder than before

Just when I thought I could not be stopped

When my chance came to be king

The ghosts of my life

Blew wilder than the wind

Well I'm feeling nervous

And I find myself alone

The simple life's no longer there

Once I was so sure

Now the doubt inside my mind

Comes and goes but leads nowhere

Just when I think I'm winning

When I've broken every door

The ghosts of my life

Blow wilder than before

Just when I thought I could not be stopped

When my chance came to be king

The ghosts of my life

Blew wilder than the wind
