ghost of another lover

< prev || next >

lyric + music by skylark + michael jackson

i remember daylight

turned into an endless night

i was lying awake and i

found myself thinking ‘bout you

all you do

all that you do

so i tried to get away

far from any yesterday

living like a runaway

under the light of the moon

locked in a room

in the room was the force of a presence calling me

pulling me into the mist of a dream

then the voice of a heart in the shadows said to me

i spent all my life searching for you

i was caught in a race with time

caught in a run for cover

with the ghost of another lover

i was left in the face of fear

and afraid i could be discovered

with the ghost of another lover

i was nearly going blind

trying hard not to lose my mind

running from another time

hoping nobody would know

it was so

so long ago

and the wind made a rush when i found her standing there

waiting there in the abyss of a dream

then i heard in a voice that was echoed everywhere

i spent all my life searching for you

i was caught in a race with time

caught in a run for cover

with the ghost of another lover

i was left in the face of fear

and afraid i could be discovered

with the ghost of another lover

and i look for a way though i know there’ll never be

i’ll spend all my life thinking of you

i was caught in a race with time

caught in a run for cover

with the ghost of another lover

i was left in the face of fear

and afraid i could be discovered

with the ghost of another lover

race with time

she blew my mind

rain or shine

the ghost of time
