a ghost in the city

(VERSE 1) It’s that time of year when leaves are turning gold And suddenly I’m strangely cold Under skies this clear my fear of growing old feels like autumn in my soul (CHORUS) By five the light has given way to night I pour a drink and clink around till ten The fall’s unkind, with winter close behind How long until it’s spring again (VERSE 2) When the summer’s done birds anxiously depart and suddenly those dark days start As we lose the sun my bravado falls apart feels like autumn in my heart (CHORUS) By five the light has given way to night I pour a drink and clink around till ten The fall’s unkind, with winter close behind How long until it’s spring again (BRIDGE) Like trick or treat on some nameless street With my heart exposed, all the doors stay closed I’m a ghost in the city at this stage Seems like autumn all year at a certain age (Piano Verse SOLO) (BRIDGE) Like trick or treat on some nameless street With my heart exposed, all the doors stay closed I’m a ghost in the city at this stage Seems like autumn all year at a certain age (VERSE 3) It’s that time of year when leaves are turning gold And suddenly I’m strangely cold Under skies this clear my fear of growing old feels like autumn in my soul
