Ghosts - Stan Cox

Saw two lovers walking down the street
Another time, another place that's you and me
The years sometimes are kind but they don't have to be
Ghosts, everywhere you look
We were there back in nineteen ninety three
Like drunken sailors on a spending spree
We ran through love and thought that we were running free
Ghosts everywhere you look ghosts
(Chorus)
Someone not so foolish
Took the love we threw away
Took it in and held it close
And I saw them today
Ghosts everywhere you look ghosts
(Bridge)
Never knew I'd be haunted by these memories
Never knew behind every shadow that I saw I'd see
Ghosts, everywhere you look ghosts
Someone not so foolish
Took the love we threw away
Took it in and held it close
And I see them everyday
Ghosts everywhere I look ghosts
