Ghost Waltz Lyrics

Broken by the silence that echoed in my heart
I couldn't help waving when the waves rushed my way
And the world tilted over, I saw in my dreams
Things aren't the way I hoped they could be

You are so kind to be civilized
Don't think that I haven't noticed
'Cause I've been too sad to think and too sick to care
But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air

I've been a ghost in the houses I've lived
I've been a stranger to heaven above
But as for the world below, this is the one I know
My poor beloved home

You are so kind to be civilized
Don't think that I haven't noticed
I've been too sad to think and too sick to care
But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air

I've been a ghost in houses I've loved
I've been a stranger to heaven above
But as for the world below, this is the one I know
My poor beloved home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
