Waiting for My Ghost

[Verse 1]
I said some kind of fog
Could be helpful with this kind of sunset
When your eyes see too far
And so deep into life you don't know yet
[Chorus]
Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I’ve been?
But then just stand right there and look at me
When I don't know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Verse 2]
I have faith in the night
That they show me what I need to master
I'll be ready, I’m here
Since so deep in the doubt, I've seen laughter
[Chorus]
Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I've been?
But then just stand right there and look at me
When I don't know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Post-Chorus]
Why do I always disappear in thought?
I'm a captain so mad at sea
And this old room is now my ship somehow
In here waves crashing over me
Waiting for my ghost to return
[Verse 3]
I will dig where I stand
Though I'm tired and longing for pleasure
Then what comes up to me
I will teach them to look like some treasure
[Chorus]
Why do the hours disappear when I
Speak so loving of where I've been?
But then just stand right there and look at me
When I don't know where to begin
Waiting for my ghost to return
