Track Name: I Am the Ghost
I AM THE GHOST
(by Sam Russell)

I am the ghost removed from the love
that you once held me in
I am the voice of the woman that
you wanted to be perfect

and now you have her, and now you have her
but you keep me hanging around
your dreams are a swinging door
that I drift in and out of

I am the girl that you missed for so long
and gave up on in your youth
when you met me finally as a man
fantasy became the truth

you said you loved me you said you loved me
and forever by me you’d stand
then you let your grip slide away and
I slipped right through your hands

I am the ghost that keeps reciting words
over and over she once said
I am the sadness you let linger on
to recall a love that’s dead

and now you have her and now you have her
so leave me be and with her move on
or else she’ll be the ghost that’s haunting you
if you don’t admit I’m gone
Track Name: When I'm Gone/Talk About Heaven
WHEN I’M GONE/TALK ABOUT HEAVEN
(“When I’m Gone” by Michael Spaly, “Talk About Heaven” by Tim Gearan)

I’ve got good news, really good news, news for you
will you still love me when I’m gone
look at those summer skies, sun’s so bright it burns your eyes
will you still love me when I’m gone

can you smell the rain showers as they blow into town
will you still love me when I’m gone

I’ve been traveling too, traveled round this world for you
will you still love me when I’m gone
this time will be the best, smell like a brand new cedar chest
will you still love me when I’m gone

can you see the air rising and falling from the ground
will you still love me when I’m gone

cause I’ll still love you if the world turns upside down
yes I’ll still love the ground you walk on
and nothing will ever stand between your love and me
cause I’ll still love you when I’m gone

dig deep, real deep, dig so deep down through the peep
will you still love me when I’m gone
dark skies rolling, dirt rolls over my skin
will you still love me when I’m gone

can you hear the birds calling as they fly south and fall
will you still love me when I’m gone

there’s all sorts of things in this natural world
but they ain’t got nothing on my little girl
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
but it ain’t got nothing on you

you fell in love or so you thought
you stole 1000 kisses but you got caught
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
but it ain’t got nothing on you

I saw her on the banks of the Arkansas
she was the sweetest thing that I ever saw
she had hair of fire and her eyes of blue
and I told her I loved her but she already knew
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
but it ain’t got nothing on you

I’ve seen the Mona Lisa and the Taj Mahal
I’ve seen the Great Wall of China and Niagara Falls
I’ve been to the Sistine Chapel and watched Milton Berle
I’ve seen a little grain of sand turn into pearl
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven
and they talk about heaven...
but it ain’t got nothing on you
