Ghost ©©

I walk the streets a ghost 

Cold rain falling from above

Thunder screaming my name from up there in the sky

It’s brilliant finger pointing down at me

Who are you old man

The rain won’t wash away those sins or hide all those scars

Look at who you have become

Where is who you were

Cold rains bring memories of times gone by

Places long gone and people that faded into memory

Cold rain burns the soul with every drop a thought

Soothing a pain that’s carried deep down inside

The shadows hide different creatures from what was when I look back

A new scar on an old street

The cold rain is still drowning out the night

Hiding the pain beneath the crying stars

People come and people go but the cold rain stays the same

For every truth there is always a lie, only the stars know what’s real

Cold rain washes away the years gone by revealing a man lost in the corners of time

Knowing where he has been but not knowing where he belongs

I know the man but time has betrayed his heart and  soul

The shadows have weakened my step

Time withers away the body

The cold rain awakens the desire I never lost
