Audience Response

I'm tired, tired of chasing after ghosts
Ghosts in my window, ghosts at my door
Ghosts in my mail, ghosts on my path
Ghosts riding the full moon
Ghosts falling with the snow
Ghosts in the gloom of the rain
Ghosts in the shinning of the sun

I'm tired, tired of chasing after ghosts
Ghosts in the cobwebs of my heart
Ghosts in the clouds of my mind
Ghosts in the stillness of my soul
Ghosts in the rage of my spirit

Ghosts in my waking
Ghosts in my sleeping
Ghosts in the morn'
Ghosts in the even'

I'm tired, tired if believing in ghosts
Ghosts with everlasting promises
Ghosts in shinning amour
Ghosts with roses oh so red
Ghosts that turn into pillars of silence
At the threshold of commitment's door

And all I have left
Is the hollowness of echoes
Echoes of dead silent ghosts
Singing sweetly to my tortured soul
I love you, I love you, I love you...
