She a memory a holy ghost
a glimpse of all he once loved most
She wanders like a whisper through the hallways
When day gives into dark of night
Dreams that die in sunlight
He sees her shadow standing in the doorway
She comes to him both sure and slow
Hey there honey why you all alone
Coming home to keep your lonely heart warm
He reaches for her standing there
He longs to touch her cold black hair
but she vanishes into the dust she came from
You cant hitch your pony to a burning post
You cant stop time not even close
Put a handle on the holy ghost not ever
Shes a memory, a holy ghost
A sense of all he once held close
A blessin and a burden all together
Days falls into the night
To dull the bitter edge of sight
He tries his best sometimes just to forget her
He feels her presence everywhere
Smells her perfume in the air
She flickers like a candle in the window
He reaches for her to touch the flame
But shes already so far away
Shes left him with a thousand pale momentos
