lyrics

Dancing with Ghosts Karl Robins

Sarah waits in the old house, by the mainstreet store
Looking out of the window of the second floor.
Jimmy looks as he passes by
Just like he’s done a million times before.
Wondering if she remembers
If she ever thinks about him any more.

There was a time when he’d hold her and her eyes would shine
Sweet words between them and the world seemed fine.
Then the night when the wind changed
And the memories flooded back into her mind.
And the words that she said then
That she had to be cruel to be kind. She said…

CHORUS
I could tell you what I want, give you all I can
Take you home but it won’t be right
And if it’s any consolation you’d a better chance than most
But I’m still dancing with ghosts.

And he took his desperation and went on his way
Hoping his frustration would fade some day.
And Sarah took a journey inside her head
And she swore she’d never take that chance again.
And she’d never need to tell them
Never need to hear her harsh voice saying…

CHORUS: AS BEFORE

One morning in the springtime, she woke to find
All the feelings that she thought she’d left behind
And she slept through the night-time
Waiting for the sun to shine again.
And she woke and she felt fine
Saw Jimmy standing out there in the rain, and she said…

CHORUS
I could tell you what you want, give you all I can
And this time it just feels right.
And if it’s any consolation, I’ve loved you more than most
Now I’m not dancing with ghosts.
