Ghost Notes
Words and Music: John Isaac Davey
so we doctored pictures
fudged the numbers
cooked the books
all in the mighty name
of better looks
I was on a fast train
to an absence
where you were not
time was all it really took
‘cause these winters
even mild ones
in the interim
make this seem
unworkable
but all of the ghost notes in between
they visit me while I am sleeping
making their way in single file
down to the epicenter
of my healing mind
my healing mind
I shied from fire
you ran through it
how’d you do it?
you got on free
to the other side
I’m a coward,
you’re defiant
in the firing line
look your doom
right in the eye
‘cause all these doors keep openin’
you walk through ‘em
and you’re wondering
what the hell I’m doing
‘cause I falter
even in my mother tongue
all of the ghost notes in between
they visit me while I am sleeping
making their way in single file
down to the epicenter
of my healing mind
my healing mind
all of the ghost notes in between
they visit me while I am sleeping
making their way
in single file
down to the epicenter of my
crazy psyche damage
and my healing mind
