Lyrics

Ghosts

[Verse 1]

When the room is quiet

And the daylight's almost gone

Seems there's something I should know

Well I ought to leave but

The raining never stops

And I've no particular place to go

No, no

[Chorus]

Just when I think I'm winning

When I've broken every door

The ghost of my life

Go wilder than before

Just when thought I could not be stopped

When my chance came to be king

The ghost of my life

Now wilder than the wind

[Verse 2]

Well I'm feeling nervous

Now I find myself alone

And the simple life's no longer there

Once I was so sure

Now the doubt inside my mind

Comes and goes but it leads me nowhere

No, nowhere

[Chorus]

Just when I think I'm winning

When I've broken every door

The ghost of my life

Go wilder than before

Just when thought I could not be stopped

When my chance came to be king

The ghost of my life

Go wilder than the wind

When I think I'm winning

When I've broken every door

The ghost of my life

Go wilder than before

Just when thought I could not be stopped

When my chance came to be king

The ghost of my life

Now wilder than the wind
