Ghost Of a Dream

There's a bar by the side of an old lonely road
Gentle folk gather round to lighten their load
The liquor is flowing and alls well it seems
In this pale ghost of a dream

They drink to remember and drink to forget
Hide from the dark that comes with sunset
Drowning their sorrow and letting off steam
To forget the ghost of a dream

The TV is blaring and the liquors run dry
The lass of his dreams is with another guy
Pin pricks that track sweet Nepenthe's means
In a fading ghost of a dream

And into the street with no hope and no cash
Seeking salvation that's not built to last
In this drunken nightmare he silently screams
That I'm just the ghost of a dream
I'm just a ghost of a dream
