Ghosts In The Night
I just can't sleep
My eyes open wide
The stars spin round outside My window
Seeing ghosts
Just a trick of a tired mind
Or maybe that's just when you
See them for real
The long dead past
Come to life
To show you the mistakes
That you've made
And while I lay here awake
And praying for sleep
I wonder if my ghosts
Have ghosts of their own
To show them their own mistakes
My eyes open wide
The stars spin round outside My window
Seeing ghosts
Just a trick of a tired mind
Or maybe that's just when you
See them for real
The long dead past
Come to life
To show you the mistakes
That you've made
And while I lay here awake
And praying for sleep
I wonder if my ghosts
Have ghosts of their own
To show them their own mistakes

Thanks B,
My mind goes to some strange places when I'm searching for sleep. Thanks for continuing to read my stuff. I really appreciate it.
