Fran HealyA Ghost Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Line by line, we drew it up
Had our fill and threw it up
Wrote the will and tore it up
I can't even say why
All my past is shorin’ up
Beatin' on my door, won't stop
Couldn’t lie, so I made it up
And I can't even say why
I can't even say why
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder as I walk away
Did I ever love it all the way?
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it?
From the end right to the start
From seein' to believin'
[Chorus]
Oh, but I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It's easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
[Verse 2]
One by one, they carry us
Break our hearts and marry us
Dig us up, then bury us
I wish I could say why
All my past is sure enough
Beatin’ on my door, has stopped
Couldn’t lie, so I make it up
And I don't even know why
I don’t even know why
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder as I walk away
Did I ever love it all the way?
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it?
From the end right to the start
From seein' to believin'
[Chorus]
Oh but I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It’s easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
So live your life
Don't waste your time
Ooh, live your life
Don't waste your time
[Bridge]
I saw a ghost in the mirror, comin' nearer
I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror
[Outro]
Oh, I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It's easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
So live your life
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Aah aah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh ah

What did Travis say about "A Ghost"?
According to Fran Healy:
I’m 46-years-old now, but I don’t feel that way. I still feel like I’ve got a lot to do. Being a parent, I gave the past 14 years of my life to my son completely. I wanted to be the dad that I’d never had. My son has been my sole focus and main project in the centre of the...
What have the artists said about the song?
RAK Studios was run by this guy called Mickie Most. He produced ‘House of the Rising Sun’ by The Animals and Hot Chocolate’s ‘You Sexy Thing.’ [Kim Wilde’s] ‘Kids in America,’ I think. We’ve always used that studio. He would come into the room immaculately dressed. He was always wearing a white jump...
