Six Ghosts

Looking out over the grey
On cobblestones the rain keeps running
Five days of stormy eyes
And still no sign of these clouds breaking

I turn my coat against the wind
And tipping my cap up as I often do
I think of you

Rewind to the place
Where the nights were warm
When there was still time to start
The center of the storm
Would you still

Take me
Through these darkened skies
I'm waking
Only for your sunrise
And I've still
Got so much to prove to you
But will I ever
You'd say I never do

Cuz facing off another day
[Through window panes the starlight fades]
Far through the world we keep on falling
[Are you still there? I keep calling out your name]

Tree shadows never cast the same
[Spirits chase each other through the haze]
Down boulevards where we'd go walking
[And never know the path from where they came]

On time lapse film they sweep the ground
And when the passerbys have all gone home
[The hours slow]
I'm here alone

Six ghosts at my side
Whisper through fog
Tell me that it's time to go
Though I don't really know
Will they still

Take me
Through these darkened skies
I'm waking
Only for your sunrise
And we're still
All out trying to find the truth
But will I ever
You'd say I never do
You'd say I never do
