Ghosts in the Fog

I walked the edge where the streetlights fade

With a pocket full of names time tried to take

Every window held a face I knew

When the mist came in and swallowed the view

My hands kept reaching for a vanished day

For the words we lost along the way

In the silver house I'd heard you call

Like a song half buried in the wall

As the leaves drift into the fog

All friends returning like ghosts I love

You were a shimmer in the static glow

A quiet pulse I thought I'd never know

Lost in memories, dressed into the fog

Old friends returning like ghosts I loved

And held my breath as the night ran cold

'Til your echoes sound the shape of my soul

There was a room where the dust still sings

We laughed, listened, forgotten things

I touched the frame and the mirror bent

To a younger me with a haunted sin

The clock kept crying through the hollow air

But the past came back with a vacant stare

In the neon grooves of a sleepless town

I saw your shadow pulling me down

Lost memories drifting through the fog

All friends returning like ghosts I loved

You were a shimmer in the steady glow

A quiet pulse I thought I'd never know

Lost memories dressed into the fog

All friends returning like ghosts I loved

And I held my breath as the night ran cold

'Til your echo found the shape of my soul

If I call your name

Will you answer near?

Through the veil of smoke

Through the static fear

Will I never lost?

Just out of sight

Floating back home on the edge of night

Lost memories drifting through the fog

Old friends returning like ghosts I love

You were a shimmer in the static glow

The quiet pulse I thought I'd never know

Most memories drift into the fog

Old friends returning like ghosts I love

Now let them stay as the dawn breaks low

All my ghosts are warm

And I let them go
