lyrics

Traveling alone out in the middle of the dark
I guess I never knew how fast a man could get lost
Reaching out for something like a vine or simple ledge
To help me through this next step overcoming what I’ve left
To help me through this next step overcoming what I’ve left

Suddenly he spoke to me in some odd foreign tongue
I shrugged and figured that he must not be from where I’m from
He said, “Brother, I got a deal for you it ain’t just for anyone
I ain’t looking for a somebody, just a no good someone
I ain’t looking for a somebody, just a no good someone”

Can’t you see this lonely ghost has gone
And sold his soul for a song
That he listens in the wind
To the melody within
He hopes that it will never fall apart
Into the middle of the dark

Once that I had found myself I noticed he was gone
He took all of my money and my clothes he left me none
I started feeling funny, yeah and I know something had changed
Cause I was feeling sunny when I know that it was rain
Cause I was feeling sunny when clearly it was rain

Can’t you see this lonely ghost is gone
And sold his soul for a song
That he listens in the wind
To the melody within
And he hopes that it will never fall apart

It seems to me this lonely ghost is gone
This highest hope has won
And it glistens in the wind
Never carries him within
The fear that he once held in his heart
Back in the middle of the dark

(Oohs)
