Lyrics

[Verse 1] Marry me to the blue sky Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain Meet me where they stop time That's you to me on the shovel that's diggin' this grave 'Til I can waltz on a moonbeam 'Til I can find a way to turn all tears into wine I'll hitch my ride to a daydream You can't unkiss the lips that love is leavin' behind [Chorus] I ain't livin' with the ghost No future livin' in the past I've seen what hate has done to hope Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't livin' with the ghost How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline I ain't 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 I'm feelin' just fine Traded nightmares for dreamin' Go tell your shadows that I got out alive [Chorus] I ain't livin' with the ghost No future livin' in the past I've seen what hate has done to hope I found the tree, I cut the rope Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't livin' with the ghost How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline I ain't livin' with the ghost Aw [Guitar Solo] [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, "I'm in over my head" He was cryin' tryin' to get some relief Lord, I'm just tryin' to get some relief I had this dream That man was me [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I ain't livin' with the ghost No future livin' in the past I've seen what hate has done to hope I found the tree, I cut the rope Tomorrow wasn't built to last I ain't livin' with the ghost How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline I ain't livin' with the ghost
