Song Lyrics

No one there to wish you a safe flight through the night
No one there to deceive you'd already made up your mind
So go

On lightning skies a spirit dies
Drowning memories of old times
A thousand forgotten books
That's what happens
When a ghost flies young, oh

There is no sense pretending now
That we know what it's all about
No one holds the key to the truth
Except of course me and you, so go (go)

On lightning skies your spirit dies
Drowning memoirs and good times, baby
The good and the truth will out
The brilliance that you're on about
(When a ghost flies young)

Lightning lives, neon skies
Broken souls and lonesome nights
One day soon you will recognize
The poetry in all of our lives
When a ghost flies young
When a ghost flies young

On lightning skies your spirit dies
Drowning memoirs and good times, honey
The good and the truth will out
The brilliance that you're on about
(When a ghost flies young)

Lightning lives, neon skies
Broken souls and lonesome nights
The poetry in all of our lives
One day soon you will recognize
When a ghost flies young
Oh, yeah
