Ghosts in the City

[Verse] Dead people walkin' through the city streets Shadows whisperin' secrets we can't meet Cold wind blowin' throw my heavy mind Lost souls searchin' what they left behind [Verse 2] Graves are silent but they scream my name Wanderin' spirits playin' an endless game Echoes of the past haunt the midnight air In the dark alleys no one's really there [Chorus] Dead ain't dreamin' they got no peace to find Roamin' ‘round us all the time In the quiet night they stretch and moan Ghosts in the city never leave you alone [Verse 3] Dust on the sidewalks ashes in the wind Voices murmur of all that’s sinned Streetlamps flicker showin' faded faces Across the land we share the same old traces [Verse 4] Haunted houses and vacant lots Life fades away but memory rots Cemeteries still crowded with the lost Their silent presence payin' life's cruel cost [Bridge] Howlin' breezes chillin' through the bone Every step I take ain't on my own Feel the eyes watchin’ from the grave Nothin' can free them nothin' to save
