lyrics

THE GHOST LIGHT © 2020 Joe Evans

The night plays tricks on us all
While the light flickers and stalls
Just echoes of dreams
In the shadows
Retreating in doorways
A city asleep

The rhythm of footsteps and laughter
Are a silent refrain
But behind padlocked doors
There’s a light that always remains
The orchestra’s silent
No words fall from the page
But the ghost light
Shines centre stage

As we wait in the wings
No fat lady sings tonight
It ain’t over the show will go on
Nothing blows out the light
Though we’ve pulled down the curtain
The ghost light’s still burning
And we’ll be rerturning, once again

Waiting for the pause
Just a beat, and then applause
The laughter and the tears
But for now, just empty chairs

Take a break but don’t go far
Listen out, we’ll call the half
And the ghosts that dance onstage for now
Will bow and then depart

The night plays tricks on us all
But the light, leads us out of the dark
The ghost light still burns
‘Til tomorrow
And tomorrow
Shines on
And tomorrow
The show must go on
