Ghost

One more night in Omaha
Bus stop just before the dawn
Cold wind
Followed me somehow
Through parking lots and shopping malls
Rinse my thoughts in alcohol
Black clouds
Rolling over me
If there’s a line, I’ll cross it
No lesson will I learn
Even if I’m standing on it
No bridge that I won’t burn
Coming back to where we started
I’m only passing through
I’ve become a ghost in your garden
Fading into view
Broke my heart with sticks and stones
Swore I’m never coming home
Last words
Never written down
Been so long since I’ve been gone
Doubt if you’ll know me at all
Downpour
Did I make you proud?
If there’s a line, I’ll cross it
No lesson will I learn
Even if I’m standing on it
No bridge that I won’t burn
Coming back to where we started
I’m only passing through
I’ve become a ghost in your garden
Fading into view
Day is short, my shadow’s long
One more hour 'til Wichita
Sunlight
Never felt so kind
If there’s a line, I’ll cross it
No lesson will I learn
Even if I’m standing on it
No bridge that I won’t burn
Coming back to where we started
I’m only passing through
I’ve become a ghost in your garden
Fading into view
