There's a thief on a summer's night Who sees another's life fading away
And of this life he writes Then pushes it from sight Lord there's something wrong
Could a star's forgotten light
As we watch from distant heights Still every ghost must haunt in its own way
Lord there's something wrong
In your life could you carry on Could you never think about it Till in time you start to doubt it
How in truth can you defend her If you're really not remembering
You can find it most convenient Just a silhouette of shadows But the shadows are still lingering
I'm too old to be living this Lived to long to be given this Can our god be forgiving this
I had a light that shined
Can't remember what they're for
Never look behind that door
Never listen to the crowd before me Never listen to the self ordained Never really wanted to believe it any way
