Among the Ghosts - Lucero

Back home, a fire they keep

Out here the cold wind blows

I did not want to leave

I wonder if she knows

The first word she said to me was goodbye

In the west the sky grows darker

Back east the sun will rise

Back home my wife and daughter

Don’t know where I am tonight

But soon I will find a road that leads home

A man could die out here, they’d never know

No longer will I walk among the ghosts

Even though I left so long ago

I got someone waiting back at home

We got married down in Texas, Texas

A little daughter of our own

She doesn’t care about

The cold wind that carried this song

All that she knows right now

Is that her father’s still gone

The first word she learned to say was to say goodbye

A man could die out here, they’d never know

No longer will I walk among the ghosts

Even though I left so long ago

I got someone waiting back at home

We got married down in Texas, Texas

A little daughter of our own

A man could die out here, they’d never know

No longer will I walk among the ghosts

Even though I left so long ago

I got someone waiting back at home

We got married down in Texas, Texas

A little daughter of our own

Life out here is getting reckless, reckless

Better find my way back home

We got married down in Texas, Texas

Our little girl will soon be grown

I can’t stay, I’m getting restless, restless

You’re gonna have to let me go
