frank watkinson - ghosts. lyrics

[verse 1]
walking past the old school, empty now and boarded
soon to be a forgotten memory
but i still hear the children if i listen very carefully
and if i close my eyes, i can see
and it gets me into thinking of the friends that used to be
gets me thinking of the ones i miss the most
but all i hear now are the echoes of a time long past
all i ever see now is ghosts

[verse 2]
walking down the high street in my old hometown
picturing how it used to be
the shops are standing empty, door signs saying “closed”
the saddest site that you would ever see
no more butcher, no more baker standing at the doors
greeting all the customers with a smile
and mrs. barker’s coffee shop where we’d buy tea and toast
now all i ever see is ghosts
[verse 3]
and why, oh why, can’t we just freeze a sp+ce in time?
and why does everything have to change?
it’s not easy knowing that the world you once knew will fade away
and soon be just an old man’s memory
now there’s nothing but ghosts here for me

[verse 4]
i guess that i’m no different to those that came before
and to those now that are yet to be
a light that once shone brightly, soon to shine no more
i’ll become someone else’s memory
and will somebody hear me if they listen very carefully?
and if they close their eyes tightly, will they see?
somewhere in their mind’s eye will they recognise
the solitary ghost that is me, that is me
