Sleeping with the Ghosts - Eric Stewart

Oooh I saw your soul awakened like a butterfly’s wings,

And your face was full of laughter and your heart began to sing.

You were soaring through the heavens,

You could leave the past behind,

But that thread it’s still not broken,

It’s out of sight, not out of mind.

No you can’t deny the pleasures or the thing you miss the most,

No, you ain’t fooling no-one, baby, you’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

Heaven knows what the future holds

We can speculate but we’ll never know.

The past will hold you tightly, you’ve gotta break away

Your life’s still in a limbo and you’ve gotta find a way.

I know no better, there ain’t no crystal ball

But you’ve gotta keep on moving, if you don’t you’re gonna fall.

Oooh talk 'til you’re dropping, deep into the night,

That fear won’t go away now,

You’re like a cat caught in the headlights.

Sail into the sunset, oh across those stormy seas,

You ain’t fooling no one, baby, you’re not fooling me.

Run with the devil, but you’ll miss what matters most,

You can’t hide the memories, you’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

Heaven knows what the future holds

We can speculate but we’ll never know.

The past will hold you tightly, you’ve gotta break away

Your life’s still in a limbo and you’ve gotta find a way.

I know no better, there ain’t no crystal ball

But you’ve gotta keep on moving, if you don’t you’re gonna fall, ooh

Deep in the darkness, way behind those tired eyes,

Underneath the laughter, the nightmare never dies.

The fear’s still hanging in there, will it never, never leave?

Can you throw away those shackles?

Give yourself a chance to breathe?

You ain’t going nowhere now, always heading for the coast,

Can’t you see what’s happening, you’re still burning the toast.

You ain’t fooling no-one now,

You’re still sleeping with the ghosts.

Heaven knows what the future holds

We can speculate but we’ll never know.

The past will hold you tightly, you’ve gotta break away

Your life’s still in a limbo and you’ve gotta find a way.

I know no better, there ain’t no crystal ball

But you’ve gotta keep on moving, if you don’t you’re gonna fall

Heaven knows what the future holds

We can speculate but we’ll never know.

The past will hold you tightly, you’ve gotta break away

Your life’s still in a limbo and you’ve gotta find a way.

I know no better, there ain’t no crystal ball

But you’ve gotta keep on moving, if you don’t you’re gonna fall

Heaven knows what the future holds
