Ghost In My Town
©Jerry Axson

There's a ghost in my town,
walking up and down these streets,
scares a lot of people away,
they say he looks a lot like me,
Yeah, he goes to the places,
you and I used to go,
says a lot of things,
only I could know...

There's a place in my chest,
my heart used to beat,
now it's empty and cold in there,
man, they're pulling up the sheets,
Takes a lot of love,
to feel this way,
it'll take a lot of courage,
to find the light of another day...

I am that ghost -
I am that shadow that you see,
I am that ghost,
and he is me...

There's a ghost in my town,
on any moonlit night,
see him dragging these chains around,
man, it's a horrible sight,
Give him room to pass,
he's beyond the hands of care,
it's all we can do for now,
offer up a simple prayer...

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
