I sense some kind of fog
 
 Could be helpful with this kind of sunset
 
 When your eyes see too far
 
 And so deep into life you don't know yet
 
  
  Why do the hours disappear when I
 
 Speak so loving of where I’ve been?
 
 But then he just stands right there and look at me
 
 When I don't know where to begin, oh
 
 Waiting for my ghost to return
  
 
 I have faith in the night
 
 That they'd show me what I need to master
 
 I’ll be ready, I'm here
 
 Since so deep in the doubt, I see laughter
  
 
 Why do the hours disappear when I
 
 Speak so loving of where I've been?
 
 But then he just stands right there and look at me
 
 When I don't know where to begin, oh
 
 Waiting for my ghost to return
  
 
 Why do I always disappear in thought
 
 I'm a captain so mad at sea
 
 And this old room is now my ship somehow
 
 If your waves crashing over me
 
 Waiting for my ghost to return
  
 
 I will dig where I stand
 
 Though I'm tired and longing for pleasure
 
 Then what comes up to me
 
 I will teach them to look like some treasure
  
 
 Why do the hours disappear when I
 
 Speak so loving of where I've been?
 
 But then he just stands right there and look at me
 
 When I don't know where to begin, oh
 
 Waiting for my ghost to return
