"Ghost Town" lyrics - PAUL KELLY

Today I thought I saw you
Standing on the corner
I was just about to call your name, I nearly touched her
Then she turned and suddenly it all came crashing down
Just my imagination playing tricks in ghost town

This morning I lay sleeping
I heard soft footsteps creeping
Standing right beside me at my bed I felt your breathing
You said 'Daddy can I come inside? It's cold down in the ground'
The sun came in, I woke up hard and empty in ghost town
Now I wander everywhere

Talking to the air
And every day just like the day before in countless numbers
And every night the curtain falls upon the day gone down
And every single town that I pass through is a ghost town
