Dancing in the dark
I’m just another ghost
In this lonely ghost town
Searching for what I’ve lost
Hoping to avoid a meltdown
Streets that once contained substance
Now avenues of by-gone memories
Oozing ethereal persistence
No longer resembling terrestrial reality
I drift among the pictures hung
Upon the hallway walls
Where many songs were sung
When your touch was my cure-all
Now it’s your shadow on the wall
I see it plainly, a shining landmark
My love’s port of call
As we dance in the dark
