dancing with a ghost

i'm here in my room again
dancing with a ghost who i used to know
but i'm face down in my bed and

three years of memories
come pouring down like a thunderstorm
drowning out my head and i want it to dry out andleave
cause when there's a ghost in your bed
it can get so hard to sleep

and with every lightning flash
your face come back right from the clouds
and you float right down and lie down next to me

i reach out to touch your hair but my fingers find nothing but air
i can see you bright as day but i'm so alone
i'm just dancing with a ghost
i'm just dancing with a ghost

this last weekend
i stood on the shores of lake michigan
and i watched the waves move sand around my feet

at this time i was so afraid
cause you were the home in which i stayed
and now im left here standing on two feet
thinking about the day i watched you leave
and all the secrets that lay beneath the sheets

and i miss you
