Like a Ghost Passing Through the Night

Moon of gold and a storm on the horizon My cape like gossamer wings in the wind Oh starlight, star bright first star I see tonight Send me somebody to love before the reaper Comes and takes my life... Well I know it's out there somewhere maybe Just across the Tennessee River or the sierra Mountains that touch the sky, where do I look If there's somebody for everybody like they Say or does anyone really love anybody deep Down inside... Well I hear the sound of thunder and turn Around in a flash of light, in tears my dreams Are shot down again like an innocent eagle In flight... Well I try this spell, this magic potion and Invoke the ancient spirits of passion and desire Hell if I not meant to be loved in this lifetime Then at least send me a lover who can quench My fire well I'll take one if I can't have the other Because I don't know how much longer I can go On all alone every damn night, I feel just like a Ghost lost and confused and reliving the past And who says it's just one of those things ghost's Do at night but looking at this moon of gold With my cape pulled up around me tight, I jump Back in a flash of light as the thunder grows Louder around midnight... Well I feel like nothing but the shadow, the shadow Of A GHOST PASSING THROUGH THE NIGHT, every night Just like A GHOST PASSING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
