Just knocked this up. Started with the title - at least what I wanted the title to be - and came up with the opening line of what I decided would be the chorus. Luckily I managed to nudge it in the right direction (ie the title!) and , whadya know?!! Another "happy" song from Sterix! :P  :o


GHOST

If you held me in your arms forever
It wouldn't be quite long enough
I have to pray that there's a place in Heaven
Where we can meet again and carry on
But all I know for sure is I'm uncertain
I had lost my faith so long ago
So for me this is the final curtain
And you're just another fading ghost

At first there was anguish and anger
Then there came sorrow and pain
Watching you slowly surrender
To the summoning arms of your fate

One day was all about laughter
The next, it was all about grief
He sentenced you to the hereafter
With no hope at all for reprieve

And if you held me in your arms forever
It wouldn't be quite long enough
I have to pray that there's a place in Heaven
Where we can meet again and carry on
But all I know for sure is I'm uncertain
I had lost my faith so long ago
So for me this is the final curtain
And you're just another fading ghost

At first there was the strong denial
There had to be second chance
You even tried to force a smile
As you began to make your plans

Science would provide the answer
Somehow rustle up a cure
Just one glance towards the doctor
I knew this was the end for sure

And if you held me in your arms forever
It wouldn't be quite long enough
I have to pray that there's a place in Heaven
Where we can meet again and carry on
But all I know for sure is I'm uncertain
I had lost my faith so long ago
So for me this is the final curtain
And you're just another fading ghost

INSTUMENTAL

I've never felt so damned and helpless
Just knowing that I couldn't help
What kind of God thinks you deserve this?
Too young to be tolling your bell

And if you held me in your arms forever
It wouldn't be quite long enough
I have to pray that there's a place in Heaven
Where we can meet again and carry on
But all I know for sure is I'm uncertain
I had lost my faith so long ago
So for me this is the final curtain
And you're just another fading ghost

I am nothing but a heart that's breaking
And you are just another fading ghost...
