The Ghosts Of Yesterday

A cool, red vinyl record spinning on my stereo

a time and place emerges somewhere from my long ago

Stealing me away to yesterday, into the harmonies

when I still believed in miracles, I still believed in me

Chasing those moments like a criminal, leaving clues upon the wall

Some days just get away till I can vaguely recall them at all

But the ones with you and me remain and visit from time to time

I'd love to stay right here with you, completely lost, inside my mind

When we both wore a different faces

Wanting to change the world we knew

Creating different spaces

Where there was only me and you

But time has a way of erasing

The things that really matter most

They keep us forever chasing

Our fondest memories, like ghosts
