Pale Green Ghosts Lyrics

Cover art for Pale Green Ghosts lyrics by John Grant

A song of journey, of process of leaving something behind and moving onto something new - the last verse suggests it's about leaving home or the idea of home.

The 'pale green ghosts' are the large green highway signs which stand as sentries along the road, chronicling what has come before and what is yet to come.
