Marry me to the blue sky
~#**************#~
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
~#**************#~
Meet me where they stop time
~#**************#~
Thats you to me on the shovel thats diggin this grave
~#**************#~
‘Til I can waltz on a moonbeam
~#**************#~
‘Til I can find a way to turn all tears into wine
~#**************#~
Ill hitch my ride to a daydream
~#**************#~
You cant unkiss the lips that love is leavin behind
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
No future livin in the past
~#**************#~
Ive seen what hate has done to hope
~#**************#~
Tomorrow wasnt built to last
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
How can I scream? Im scared to breathe
~#**************#~
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
~#**************#~
But we were fire and gasoline
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I set my sail over wheat fields
~#**************#~
Rode waves of amber, let a new sun shine on my face
~#**************#~
I dropped the sword, put down my shield
~#**************#~
I left your scars for the stars guidin my way
~#**************#~
I traded hurtin for healin
~#**************#~
I must admit that I was reelin, now Im feelin just fine
~#**************#~
Traded nightmares for dreamin
~#**************#~
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
No future livin in the past
~#**************#~
Ive seen what hate has done to hope
~#**************#~
I found the tree, I cut the rope
~#**************#~
Tomorrow wasnt built to last
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
How can I scream? Im scared to breathe
~#**************#~
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
~#**************#~
But we were fire and gasoline
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
Aw
~#**************#~

[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Last night I had this dream
~#**************#~
I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water
~#**************#~
He worked up to his knees
~#**************#~
From his arms to his neck, said, “Im in over my head”
~#**************#~
He was cryin tryin to get some relief
~#**************#~
Lord, Im just tryin to get some relief
~#**************#~
I had this dream
~#**************#~
That man was me
~#**************#~
[Instrumental Break]
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
No future livin in the past
~#**************#~
Ive seen what hate has done to hope
~#**************#~
I found the tree, I cut the rope
~#**************#~
Tomorrow wasnt built to last
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
~#**************#~
How can I scream? Im scared to breathe
~#**************#~
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
~#**************#~
But we were fire and gasoline
~#**************#~
I aint livin with the ghost
