The Morningside – Ghost Lights Lyrics
Artist: The Morningside
Song: Ghost Lights
Outside the city
The sunset died away
Mist is rising dripping out on my gown
Across the flatlands
Where swamps absorbed the day
Ghostly lights through the night lead me down
The woods a little way
Turn the pages of the foliage and admire
The book of misty night
In the deep woods witches dance beside the fire
I follow distant light
Before Ive walked on
I dropped my pack and froze
At the edge of the depths luring me
Hidden by the starlight
Not far or not too close
The old man who I will never be
Mourns for the boy I was
Turn the pages of the foliage and admire
The book of misty night
In the deep woods witches dance around the fire
I follow distant light
– Hiya!
– Hi, man!
– How’ya doin?
– Not bad. Did you hear that Old Jim has checked out?
– Yeah…
– Smoke?
– Would be nice. Thanks
– What’s that paper?
– Don’t know. Robbed a man at the station. Got a wallet and the paper. Some cash and this
– “We are leaving the City as it’s vanishing behind our backs, to be born somewhere in front
To arise as a grey monster, having changed the face before we step on its streets
Every corner of it hides fear. Its rivers are desiring our coins to tie us to it forever
We are running further, somewhere we believe everything is different. But it is appearing
Before us again and again – a haunting spirit – the symbol of eternal jail and flouncing freedom. And we are welcoming it hoping for a miracle”
– A good beginning for a book
– Maybe you can become a writer? Half a book’s already in the bag
– Yeah…
