Grey Ghost

As the autumn wind whispers through the tall and lonely pines

And the hour of fate is drawing close at hand

Freebird falling from the sky

Brings a bitter end to another southern man

But there's a grey ghost runnin' through the night

An echo of the sadness and the pain

Grey ghost runnin' through the night

The man is gone but his spirit will remain

Fast like them, the music is just a grim disguise

For the heartache and the fear of growin' old

Without the one that means the most it makes you realise

That you're the one that's left out in the cold

There's a grey ghost runnin' through the night

An echo of the sadness and the pain

Grey ghost runnin' through the night

The man is gone but his spirit will remain

The dealer of death has dealt the losing hand

And it's a cold fact: the cards don't ever lie

Through the fire dream of things to come it's such a price to pay

When the memories are all that's left behind
