lyrics

in the dark i can see your shadow falling
off into my room as i look after you
you never came by to tell me you are gone
only when your ghost came by, could i finally move on

now i suppose you are never coming down
so i went out to town and saw our lights go out
all i used to know is going up in smoke
and everything i knew is tied up there with you

in the photograph you are smiling, still
now i know what to do, but i don't know if i will

so am i now just some stranger you have met
of a million there, but yet, i've figured out my place
and now i have no face that you could spite at all
and if there is some place, i don't belong here at all

mother dear, you and father will fade
and I am on my own, i never should have gone away
now that it's all gone and i have nowhere safe
i am just a ghost, vagrant and disgraced

now your ghost has float away
and how am i suppose to live this way?
