Musta Been A Ghost

If I call you, then I'm crazy, if I call you

If I call you, you ain't gonna answer

If I was ever to just call you

See, my problem is I want you to know who I am

When all that matters is that I know who the hell I am

I picture young Robert Frost, pen in hand, yellin' at the postman

No letter has he received

Even a, "No" would be alright, even a, "Sorry, but not today"

A sign of life would bring relief

Even a, "Thank you, but no, thank you", "Goodbye", "Take care"

"I already got one"

I thought I heard you laugh once, no?

I guess it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one

Every time I get close, can't keep you around

Thought I knew you, but it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one

Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real

Now today, all them horses run a bit faster

So I know if you wanted, baby, you could give me an answer

See, my problem is I want you to know who I am

When all that matters is that I know who the hell I am

I picture young Honest Abe, twiddlin' 'em thumbs for two week, no letter has he received

Are you one of those people that would rather disappear than show up and disagree?

Oh, give us a, "Thank you, but no, thank you", "Goodbye", "Take care"

"I already got one"

We cried together once, no?

I guess it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one

Every time I get close, can't keep you around

Thought I knew you, but it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one

Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real

Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real
