And the rain was there There were many nights And a few of them were all that you had dreamed of Love was the thing And you feel as if someone was following you But you know you are wrong It's just the ghost of what you want to be And the ghost of the past that you live in It's just the ghost of what you really want And it's the ghost of the past that you live in And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of So you look to your guardian angel So long ago I was an innocent It had nothing to do with age One day they were lovers one day they were friends There was nothing else to say Well just the ghost of what you want to be And the ghost of the past that you live in It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of So you turn to your guardian angel And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of Love was the thing So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism To feel the empty spaces she's feeling She depends on her music like a husband And she knows it's no good to fall in love again One day they were lovers one day they were friends There was nothing else to say It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be And the ghost of the past that you live in Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of So you look to your guardian So you look to your guardian angel Some of them are here on earth Well some of them are way up there in heaven So you look to your guardian angel Some of them are here on earth Some of them are way up there in heaven heaven
