Ghosts

I'm runnin' along the rocks of the river And the water's as cold as the snow The man is chasing behind me And I can't afford to falter or slow I find solace in what we believe Or the hush of a cool gentle rain But there's something we love in the mystery Of a man in the midst of a change She laughed and said I was goin' nowhere 'Cause it's nowhere that she's ever been When I get to that place, she'll remember my face And say, "Hey man, I knew him when he was younger" But she never loved me at all She laughed when I was in pain 'Cause there's something that we are all frightened of In a man in the midst of a change Oh, out on the roof to inquire of the sky The existence of ghosts in my life, who's to blame, you or I? No one would answer me They just stared with the weight of the world I pretend not to feel The windmill is poised for the battle But the fool understands not the game He believes in his mission, "Predestined position" Amazing the grace of her name Oh, he loves her now as he loved her then Rocinante remembers the days When I whistled and sat waiting patiently With the man in the midst of a change Oh, out on the roof to inquire of the sky The existence of ghosts in my life, who's to blame, you or I? No one would answer me They just stared with the weight of the world I pretend not to feel Yeah, I'm runnin' along the rocks of the river With the freedom to step where I choose Though I can't stop to rest, I like traveling best And besides, I've got nothing to lose from it I find solace in all the extremes In pleasure as well as in pain I just wish he would let me explain to you The man in the midst of a change We find solace in all the extremes In pleasure as well as in pain I just wish he would let me explain to you The man in the midst of a change
