You're not a bad ghost, just an old song
Good love gone wrong
Something knocking on my funny bone
You were right for the moment, but not a whole life
But you'd be right tonight 'cuz I'm singing old songs
You're not a bad ghost, just a false start
A pain in my heart, but not a bad one
You were right for the moment, but not my whole life
But you'd be nice tonight 'cuz I'm singing old songs
Ah, you'd be nice tonight 'cuz I'm singing old songs
You were a promise of heaven and a flicker of light
Oh, where's the light tonight, 'cuz I'm singing old songs
You're not a bad ghost, just an old song
Good love gone wrong
Something knocking on my funny bone
You were right for the moment, but not for life
But you'd be nice tonight 'cuz I'm singing old songs
Oh, where are you tonight 'cuz I'm singing old songs
Oh, where are you tonight, I'm singing old songs
Oh, where are you tonight, I'm singing old songs
