about
23 was a bright year. A year of growth, a flood of words, a non stop flow of visceral cinematic images in a life played out under a golden dawn of quickening, and apocalypse within. These songs sprung forth that year, or are of character that left indelible marks on me that year, and I, them. this one's for Jack Kerouac. Slainte.
lyrics
Ghost
he travels light, day by day, a few folded dollars and change,
he sleeps in empty parking lots, the parking spots he can rearrange
you’ve seen his face in washrooms, as you’re reaching for the light
he’s followed you for miles of darkness when drove all night
there’s a ghost out on the road
there’s a ghost out on the road
for all eternity I know
there’s a ghost out on the road
he sits with you in diners, when your hunger pulls you there
he dances on the street lamps he’s in the wind he’s in the air
chorus
bridge: he’s always there, the road’s his prison
when bridges are bare, you know who’s missing
you know who’s missing
he wont hurt you, trust me there is no need to be afraid
just make it home now, safely and think of the time you made
chorus
