Grey Ghost

Grey ghost, she walks in the room

Sweet mother of mercy

Bloody murder

Nobody heard her

And then she was gone

Midnight she walks in the dark

She talks of her struggle

Tiny faces, people and places

All rolled into one

And the fact that anyone survived is still a miracle

In the holy day the river came

I've been prayin' for the sun

And then what it takes is the act of fate to keep this soul alive

I'm equal to the fight, it seems

And I'm hanging on

Grey ghost, she started to cry

Her night's getting shorter

Mary's daughter fell in the water

And now she is gone

Brave hearts, how far must you fall

Pulled out from the danger

Who'd be stranger, caught in the manger and under the sun

Is the fate of many in the hands of God the reason ashes rise

And it's only love that never dies

And it's living on

And if there is a message for the world, it's still a mystery

And the fools are writing history

And the damage is done

So sad, this story is told

Hand down to the children

Tiny, famous, melody lingers

And now she is gone
