Ghosts - Jesse Winchester

She is standing in the airport

She is telling me goodbye

She is telling me she loves me

And there are teardrops in her eye

And when I look at that old picture

It always makes me blue

And there are days where that’s all that I do

And oh, oh, oh these old memories can sure get me down

Going through life with these ghosts all around

And oh how they haunt me

They moan and they cry

Oh but I wish these ghosts would die

There I am in some hotel room

Here I am in some old bar

Drinking Cutty Sark and water

With the money in my jar

And when I look back on those old times

It always makes me blue

And there are days where that’s all that I do

And oh, oh, oh these old memories can sure get me down

Going through life with these ghosts all around

And oh how they haunt me

They moan and they cry

Oh but I wish these ghosts would die

And all I want

All I pray

Is please somebody

Make these ghosts go away

If you really need to reach me

Go to nineteen sixty three

Playing guitar by the radio

Anything in G

And when I listen to those old songs

It always makes me blue

And there are days where that’s all that I do

And oh, oh, oh these old memories can sure get me down

Going through life with these ghosts all around

And oh how they haunt me

They moan and they cry

Oh but I wish these ghosts would die

Oh but I wish these ghosts would die
