THE GHOST IN YOU


You awoke in a burning paperhouse 
From the infinite fields 
Of dreamless sleep 
You return to Tiannammen 
An eyewitness in a shroud 
To see them fall, feel them yield 
Reliving the terror of the crowd 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow 
Just for a moment I seemed to know 
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow 
I seemed to know the ghost in you 

The whisper of your scream 
Sighed through the air 
And faith-the flag is torn and frayed 
Inferno heat, glory in flame 
love was beaten and betrayed 

In every step I hear your sobbing 
Dare I break the shade with one caress? 
Dare I trespass to lift the veil 
To touch the lips so soft and frail? 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow 
I seemed to know the ghost in you 

Your captive heart, the belief you share 
With a kiss eternal, the spirits of the square 

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow 
Hope remains with the ghost in you 
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow 
I seemed to know the ghost in you 

Don't let it blow 
The ghost in you 
The ghost in you
