about

Just Ghosts, rather than insist bluntly, summons quietly. It floats across an unknown landscape through time and space and perhaps recalls a time when loneliness affixed itself to travel because one’s whereabouts were unknown. Like a simultaneous search and discovery of extraterrestrial life, one was both explorer and alien. there’s only one way communication and it takes money to make a call and anyone you love isn’t home anyhow.

lyrics

The torn-out paper clouds
Pasted in the sky
Mirrored in the windshields
Of cars going by

And it makes no difference now
These miles in between
The town we left behind
And the city of our dreams

CHORUS:
I want to get out of everywhere
And know them when they come
Maybe join them just long enough
To see where we started from
To see where we started from

Sitting here a while
There’s some coffee in my cup
I’m waiting on a refill
But no one here looks up

Maybe I’m just ghost
In a world of make-believe
And some stranger’s paid my bill
And now it’s time to leave
CHORUS

I’ve loved you so long, I can’t see my way through
Captain my dear captain! This boat will never do
We swam out across the desert where an ocean used to sleep
We barely saw shoreline when we drifted out too deep
CHORUS
