Similar to another song from Skeleton Coast sung by guitarist Chris McCaughan, second-side opener “Ghostwriter” is about coming to terms with one’s obscurity. It serves as a sort of title track for the album as well, featuring the phrase “skeleton coast” in its first line.
Ghostwriter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I drove the highways of a skeleton coast
Salt and sea tapped mysteries into the keys
I wrote an opus of distorted truths
A symphony to crashing waves of victory
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, I am a ghostwriter
Ooh-ooh, ooh, pretend I am forever young
Ooh-ooh, I bleed every ribbon dry
Waiting for my day to come
[Verse 2]
Tamerlane, my poor soul in a last refrain
An endless storm rattles on my windowpane
The creaking floors, lost voices of a thousand wars
The fire roars
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, I am a ghostwriter
Ooh-ooh, ooh, pretend I am forever young
Ooh-ooh, I bleed every ribbon dry
Waiting for my day to come
[Bridge]
How long can we sing the same old tired songs?
How long can we tread water?
The shore is only gettin' smaller
[Chorus]
I am a ghostwriter
Pretend I am forever young
And I bleed every ribbon dry
Waiting for my day to come
Waiting for my day to come
To come
