Like a grain of sand you got the world caught in your eye
You couldn’t see nothin’ at all
When you came to, there were figures walkin’ everywhere
But a ghost, a ghost can’t end the world
“What does it mean?” You said
As you counted the fingers on your hand
“What does it mean?” You said
As you sifted your feet through the sand
You reached out to touch me,
Then decided to touch your opposite hand
But a ghost, a ghost can’t end the world
What if you were small
And I was big and six feet tall
I would tie you to my back
Your eyes would grow so wide
I would set you down and stand beside
But a ghost, a ghost can’t end the world
Black night, black night this time of year
No one is makin’ love
Black night, black night can make it seem alright
To lose
Black night, black night the time of year
When ghosts are all around
But a ghost, a ghost can’t end the world.
