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
