Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The silence, it is unusually loud tonight
The strange sound of nothing fills my ears
Then the night rushes in like a crowd of nights
And the ghost of our old love appears
[Chorus]
This strange world of darkness that comes with the night
Grows darker when it walks my way
Then it laughs while I listen for the breaking of day
And the ghost of our old love goes away
[Chorus]
This strange world of darkness that comes with the night
Grows darker when it walks my way
Then it laughs while I listen for the breaking of day
And the ghost of our old love goes away
And the ghost of our old love goes away
And the ghost of our old love goes away
[Outro]
Ghost, our love, away
Ghost, our love, away
Ghost, our love, away
Ghost, our love, away
