south austin jug band - ghost lyrics
in the wind, there’s a lonesome sound
in the night, there’s a cry from the hill country ground
it’s a hum from an ancient tone
it’s a presence i can feel it in my bones
somethin’ i can’t see has been surroundin’ me
there’s a ghost trying to talk through me
ghost, now don’t you leave my home
as long as you’re here, i can feel on my own
now i heard your words were left unknown
take my hand, carve ‘em in your tombstone
somethin’ i can’t see has got a hold on me
there’s a ghost trying to talk through me
[banjo solo]
my days seem still, my nights grow long
i’m holdin’ your guitar, just tryin’ to hear your songs
lonely in love but a beautiful soul
i never heard such good rock-n-roll
possess me now, you could show me how
now, ghost won’t you talk through me
[guitar solo]
soul, i can see your side
i shouldn’t play a note, if the song ain’t right
cause this is my home, this is my hometown
i’ve been turned up, i’ve been turned down
but i spread the word as best i could
through spruce, wire, and old rosewood
through spruce, wire, and old rosewood
