sometimes I walk around this town
ghosts follow me without a sound
I close my eyes and start to pray
that I can somehow get away

other times I walk around
this town is some new love I've found
the streets just seem to sparkle
in the glow of adoration

Chorus: Don't give up the ghost
hold on you're getting close
to some kind of answers
or at least some questions finally worth asking

late at night when I can't rest
a mockingbird sings me a test
a catalog of my mistakes
rolls through my head with each song he makes
Chorus

when I'm lost
overcome by memories and questions
when I've reached as far as I can reach
but I can't catch the dreams that I've been dreaming
there's always someone beautiful enough
to light the darkness long enough
to show me home is in my crowded heart
Chorus
