You all think you know what you see, as you spot me in the doorway
Watch your eyes look up to the sky
You never look this ghost in the eye
Every ghost, every ghost has a story
You seem to think I chose this world want a cardboard, cold life
People don't break their stride passing me,
They don't care who this ghost might be
Every ghost, every ghost, every ghost, every ghost, has a story
Sitting here in a winter's doorway
Sleep if the night's not too cold
Life just seems to fall away from me
And I've not got the strength to hang on
I remember a life like the one you have now - picture postcard family
Lost my job, was the start of it all
Drink and demons completed the fall
Every ghost, every ghost, every ghost, every ghost, has a story
Sitting here in a winter's doorway
Sleep if the night's not too cold
Life just seems to fall away from me
And I've not got the strength to hang on
When you see shimmers just like me, imagine the life that got 'em there
Try and listen to the stories they tell
Hear all of the harrow and the hell
Every ghost, every ghost, every ghost every ghost, has a story
