Ghosts & Images Songtext
von Built for the Sea

On the road, your prize possession in a paper bag.
Your new obsession in a friend you found. You're hanging on, hanging on.

Lend an ear. I have a story that I never told.
You seem friendly and I'm all alone, all alone, all alone.


I will show where you can stay I know a place that's safe.
We can cut through miles of space, I will lead the way.

Years ago I was one of many men to go. I was assigned to do unspeakable things, these are the things I can never get out of my mind.

Without the smoke, I am a slave to ghosts and images.
You call me lucky, no one understands, understands, understands.

I will gladly take the place, I'm better off that way.
And I don't have the strength for that so I live day by day.
And I'm so glad you stayed, stayed, stayed, stayed.
