Slow Ghost
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a ghost in the river, baby
Lost in the river of time
Far from feeling fine
I'm all wasted on wine
I've come a long way from when I was
Feeling lonesome
Lost in other rhythms
I try to make them all mine
It's a long day
And I'm thinking it over
Find another one to change
You're mind
I've been crawling through the alleyways, and
Thinkin' 'bout some summer day
Talkin' 'bout the million ways
That I had gone wrong
I'm alive in the city
I think I died in the country
Another slow ghost walking
Through the valley alone
It's a long day
And I'm thinking it over
Find another one to changŠµ
You're gonna read my mind
TherŠµ's no need to justify
To the only one who stays
Lost in language
I'm tired of learning
Sometimes you're there
And then you're gone
So free yourself
'Cause the road, it might be turning
Hey, it's okay to not be good enough
Well, I spent all this money on
Living it dead old
I'm living in the shadows
It's how I'm gonna lose you
