This Old Ghost Black & White Lyrics

You sat there on the porch and kept your head down and wept about your life

Like there was something you had left behind

You waited hours to hear the phone ring but the ringing never came

And you just kept on prayin' that everything would change

You had a choice to make and when the time came you went against your heart

Thinking much too long was tearing you apart

They're reaching in and stealing all the air you used to need to breathe

But you just closed your eyes as they buried you six feet

I only see in black and white

These colors don't seem to appear to me So I wonder what I'll miss tonight

When I am the first to fall asleep

Your father found you in the freezing cold and invited you back in

But you refused to take his verbal medicine

Believing there was nothing he could say that could ever change your mind

You blocked out all the words and dreamt of better times

I only see in black and white

These colors don't seem to appear to me

So I wonder what I'll miss tonight

When I am the first to fall asleep

To fall asleep
