Ghosts

Life goes back to sleep, all has to wait All lies frozen in her hushed embrace Wintertime whispers softly at my door Hmm hmm Within my self the old traditions flow From somewhere ancient I do recall A solemn state where Everyone would join In songs of solace I sing for me while lighting candles Oh-oh-oh I sing because my ancestors are cold To chance upon long-forgotten things If through the veil, someone's listening I sing because this time of years has ghosts I could sleep until her frost is spent Dwell until the dawn of Spring ascends Winter hallows echo from long ago Within myself the old traditions flow From somewhere ancient I do recall A solemn sate where Everyone would join in In songs of solace I sing for you while lighting candle Oh-oh-oh I sing because your presence gives me hope I'm giving in to festivities If through the veil, someone's listening I sing because this time of year has ghosts Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh) I sing for all who still light candles Oh-oh-oh I sing for those who have no voice or home A hearth of songs that could warm us all If through the veil, someones hears my call I sing because this time of years has ghosts
