Ghosts in my pockets (versión 2)

Verse

I'm walking down the street where we used to be

Tin cans rattling in my pockets, you said set me free

Your gold watch on the curb where I left it behind

Whistle still shaking but the sound won't find your mind

I'm holding onto yesterday like a cold cup of tea

The whole block's awake but I don't see nobody that used to be around here

Bassline still moving through my chest where yours should be

Sunrise burning on the tin roofs but it ain't breaking me

Log drum in the window, auntie singing loud and clear

But nothing feels right without you standing there

Pre-Chorus

Can I hold onto this feeling or let it go?

Is this still home or a ghost of what we used to know?

Same streets, same sky but everything's different now

I don't wanna let it fade like the light in your eye somehow

Chorus

Ghosts in my pockets, whispers on the wind

We said goodbye but I'm holding onto what I left behind

Sunrise over Soweto, turning everything gold

I'll keep dancing 'til you come back to hold

Verse

Cousin's playing that same piano where we used to sit and play

Your shweshwe scarf is folded up in my jacket, I should throw it away

Taxi horns are screaming outside the door where we said goodbye

You were laughing and I was crying, I don't know which one of us lied

Bassline keeps on moving but your heartbeat's gone

Every sunrise here feels like a long time coming home

Your mother's cooking up breakfast in that same small kitchen light

I'm still hungry for the taste of what we used to ignite

Log drum's getting louder, feet keep pounding out a name

But I don't wanna shout it 'cause it might just change the game

Pre-Chorus

Can I hold onto this feeling or let it go?

Is this still home or a ghost of what we used to know?

Same streets, same sky but everything's different now

I don't wanna let it fade like the light in your eye somehow

Chorus

Ghosts in my pockets, whispers on the wind

We said goodbye but I'm holding onto what I left behind

Sunrise over Soweto, turning everything gold

I'll keep dancing 'til you come back to hold

Bridge

Maybe this town's just trying to tell me something new

Every sunrise brings a chance for things to change like dew on copper

No need to let go of the past when it still feels so real

Just gotta learn to trust that someday we can heal

Chorus

Ghosts in my pockets, whispers on the wind

We said goodbye but I'm holding onto what I left behind

Sunrise over Soweto, turning everything gold

I'll keep dancing 'til you come back to hold

Outro

Log drum's still shaking

Gold on the rooftops

Sunrise over Soweto...
