JeffGuitarWilliams ยท Ghost
(July, 08, 2020) My daughter had a dream about me recently, that inspired this haunting song.

Ghost
​Copyright © 2020 Jeff Williams

It was another place in another time though it wasn’t really long ago
I could see the sun traveling cross the sky but it was moving kind of slow
and there was something deep inside of me saying things I didn’t want to know
and I found myself being pulled along to all the places that I used to go

and as I looked around I could hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach
and my mind was flowing from East to West like a river running to the sea
and I found myself with my head in my hands looking down at my feet in the sand
and like a castle being washed away the waves erased me from this land 

and the mountains where I spent my younger days rose above me in a tower of stone
I tried talking to the people I remembered there because I felt so all alone
but the people that once loved me so looked through me like I was a cloud
it was snowing outside and everything was frozen but I couldn’t even feel the cold

and a lifetime of pain and anger rose inside of me a hundred feet tall
I didn’t want to leave a single trace behind me so I punched a hole through the wall
this isn’t how its supposed to be I cried as if inside a dream
you could drive a truck of angels through the hole in my heart but my fingers didn’t even bleed

there was a room full of people crying but I really couldn’t tell what for
nobody seemed to hear me knocking so I let myself in through the door
every time I tried to tell my story, every time I tried to have my say
they’d just turn their head, and wipe their eyes, and look the other way

by the heavenly light of a window looking over what seemed to be world below
there was person that I never saw before but somehow I just seemed to know
I said “You look like you seen a ghost my friend” be he didn’t say “How do you do?”
He said “I really don’t need to tell you now … the ghost is you.”
