Ghostlight on the Wire 2 (versie 2)

Verse

I remember nights on the highway, engine hummin' low

Radio cracklin', your hand on my knee as we go

Headlight catches snowdrift, turns it to gold for a second

We laugh at nothing 'cause laughter feels good with you like this

Your perfume on the air where the heater just blew

Every little town is full of lights but none are as true

You turn up the volume so we can sing along together

Now this old song's hitting me like it was written for us that winter

Pre-Chorus

Is that a ghost light burnin' in my rearview mirror?

Or just your smile, startin' to shimmer through the night sky

Chorus

Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still

Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till

Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight

And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire

Verse

You were singin', 'I'll be back in spring' but I know you won't

Dust settles over everything that we leave behind

We pulled into a diner off some lonely little road

The waitress knew our story 'cause she'd seen it before with all the ones who left, came back, and stayed

Pre-Chorus

Is that a ghost light burnin' in my rearview mirror?

Or just your smile, startin' to shimmer through the night sky

Chorus

Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still

Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till

Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight

And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire

Bridge

I don't need no closure when I see your face in the night

I just pull over 'fore I leave this road behind tonight

Breathe it deep like gasoline and smoke from a summer storm

You come back quiet as a whisper after all these years

Chorus

Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still

Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till

Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight

And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire
