[Verse 1]
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
That I once knew and talked to
Of whom I’d never boast
'Cause this was my big secret
How I get ahead
And never have to worry
I’d call him instead
His answer came in actions
He never spoke a word
Or maybe I lay down the phone
Before he could be heard
I somehow feel forsaken (I somehow feel forsaken)
Like he had closed the door (Like he had closed the door)
I guess I just stopped needing him (I guess I just stopped needing him)
As much as once before (As much as once before)
[Verse 2]
But maybe he’s still with me
The latch was left unhooked
He’s waiting in the wind and rain
I simply haven’t looked
[Outro]
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
I feel I’ve never told you
The story of the ghost
