Ghost Shadows lyrics

Ghost Shadows

Silent nights that

you drove away,

sailed right by like ships on a breeze—

Ghost shadows—

leave a haunting wake

trailing into the unforeseen,

overcast,

dark weather.

A voracious sky consumes then pleads

for you to stay,

with your wandering fleets

heading out for the blaze in the east:

Don’t set on me.

High ridges line

the broken coast.

A beacon casts its waving arm,

bending light

through the howling wind,

steering ships away from harm.

Full moon

climbing high in the night;

a warning sounds its red alarm;

Your fleets scatter

their masts at bay,

collected, harbored, and withdrawn;

docked, fouled, and frayed.
