Ghosts On Water
LYRICS...
Ghosts on water give
To a gentle touch
Look back in silence
I can never see enough

City as a memory
And a squeak in the shoe
All the semaphore echoes
That get poured through a suit

Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember

And I can see
Another time
Another place
Some setting sun
And I can't wait forever
Walking with someone inside my own

Twins in the strata
And they travel by phone
And the fog is a vehicle
And they're fused in the bone

Ghosts on water drift in
On a summer light
They can pass like sand through a hand
As they leave the world behind

Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember
Oh oh remember

Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
Ghosts on water
