The Ghost Parade Songtext
von Martin Newell

One summer evening falling
When all the birds stop calling
And pavements sparkle in the rain
Your memory may uncover
Some aspect of a lover
Seen like a scarecrow from a train
Drowned in all their dreams
The yearning souls go by
Wrapped in the darkness
Paler day by day
Like fading photographs
The ghost parade
Inside, the noise of drinkers
Absolves the deeper thinkers
Of any duty to explain
What happens to the lonely
Who find that love is only
As brief shadows in the rain
Drowned in all their dreams
The yearning souls go by


Wrapped in the darkness
Paler day by day
Like fading photographs
The ghost parade
Drowned in all their dreams
The yearning souls go by
Wrapped in the darkness
Paler day by day
Like fading photographs
The ghost parade
There is no safety warning
Imprinted on the morning
To tell you what may still remain
If evening should uncover
Some aspect of your lover
Seen like a scarecrow from a train
Drowned in all their dreams
The yearning souls go by
Wrapped in the darkness
Paler day by day
Like fading photographs
The ghost parade
