there's a black ghost on my trail
won't go away, won't disappear
black ghost never fails to get his way
I'm going to run like hell
down the longest road
when I turn around he'll be waiting there I know
black ghost knows me well
out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please
though I try to shake him free
I know that he's a part of me
black ghost living on he knows me well
out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please
over and over and over again
and I know what I know
what I know what I know
it's done
he's coming down
he's with me now
black ghost by my side
he's with me now
there's a black ghost on my trail
won't go away won't disappear
black ghost never fails to get his way
though I try to shake him free
I know that he's a part of me
black ghost living on he knows me well
out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please
over and over and over again
and I know what I know
what I know what I know
it's done
he's coming down
he's with me now
ghost coming down
black ghost by my sideYou told me not to try and tie you down
So I just took my place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well, you couldn't see you were losing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be okay
You'd come around to my way any day
As time went on, you just stayed the same
No, you, you couldn't change, or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
