Words and music by John Kay
The night wind howls way up in the canyon
The moon comes out while fog rolls in
One more time I`m waiting for the spirit of the past
To appear and trouble me again
Time goes by like a sail on the ocean
Sleep won`t come though my eyes grow dim
And in the dark I see what I have seen a hundred times
The ghost, the ghost of might have been
Oh, it`s you
You keep me hanging on
You`re the one whose memory I see
Yeah you, you hang on till the dawn
And it`s you and what we knew, that`s killing me
The love we shared was the dream of a lifetime
The joy we knew, our reason to be
And if it`s hard to live without some happiness or love
Worst of all is this hopeless misery
oh, it`s you…
I don`t know who to blame
And it really doesn`t matter anymore
I`m trying hard to keep the past
From driving me insane
But somehow I keep hoping, to see you at that door
Early morning sun is rising
I can see it rising through the haze
Someone`s walking up my stairs, knocking at my door
Lord how I`ve longed to see that face
Oh, it`s you…..
