Ghostfire
difficult to listen to, or just
wouldn't feel right listening to
since leaving Colorado, others I
can't stop listening to.
I may no longer be a scenester, but some of
them can make damn good music. This song was
introduced to me by my more Rockabilly friend
out there, David. It was such a perfect day
after bro-tastic drinking at a bar in a town
called Louisville. The ride home in his old
Chevy truck toward the sunset behind the
mountains, warm, dry air coming through
the window... I really miss the west...
can't wait to not only make my way there
again, but even further... and to better.
"Unseen to the eyes
but a place in your heart
It scorches from inside
just as it haunts
It is unknown to young lovers
intoxicated by spring
But when the feelings icy flame
they'll know everything
It lives where love has died,
this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sight
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right through the night
Only a lover lost
burns in ghostfire
(Ghostfire)
Lovers spurned took their revenge,
lie in cells tonight
Once consumed they turn to ash
in it's cold blue light
Those who can't take the pain
They extinguish the spark of life
For others it comforts,
a companion in the night
It lives where love has died,
This ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sight
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right through the night
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire)"
