just a ghost

She's sitting on a bench from across the street
Counting every face that's passing by
Tick-tock every second she's glancing at her watch
Every single day sitting on a bench from across the street looking at the birds in the sky  
She's Waiting on a strangers hello
She's waiting on someone to share the smile  
For the rest of her life she's waiting on someone to break the ice
People come and go  
Friendly faces heading back home  
She's slowly losing hope  
She's waiting for someone to take her hand and take her home
But No one notices her because she's just a ghost
She has a lovely voice, everyday she sings a song
Hoping someone will hear her and sing along  
Hoping someone will hear her sing and toss a coin
But her voice is fading with the wind  
She's losing her courage to sing  
People come and go  
Friendly faces heading back home  
She's slowly losing hope  
She's waiting for someone to take her hand and take her home
But No one notices her because she's just a ghost
65 years  
She has a lot of stories to tell
She knows every building, street poles, women and men
Sometimes she accompanies them to work
But no one notices she's there  
At times she wishes she was dead  
She doesn't know why
People come and go  
Friendly faces heading back home  
She's slowly losing hope  
She's waiting for someone to take her hand and take her home
But No one notices her because she's just a ghost
Until yesterday she heard a strangers hello
He said ''I'm here to take you home
I cant wait to hear you sing your song  
I cant wait to hear all the stories you have to tell''
A tear fell of her eye and she began to understand  
Why  
People come and go  
Friendly faces heading back home  
No one hear her sing  
No one would listen  
Because she's just a ghost
