(Verse 1) Saw her every day at school, With her skateboard and her hat, Sad eyes and freckles on her cheeks, Braces hidden in her laugh. Long red hair cascading down, Underneath that worn-out cap, She was the punk girl of our town, Always up to some new crap. (Chorus) Freckled ghost in the summer light, Red-haired fox with a heart so bright, (whoa-oh) But shadows crept, stole her away, From the sunshine of our days. (Verse 2) She used to laugh, she used to smile, A rebel heart, free and wild, But slowly, darkness took its hold, Her story, whispered, left untold. Withdrew from friends, skipped the scene, Eyes lost that hopeful gleam, A secret burden, she’d confide, Hiding tears she couldn’t hide. (Chorus) Freckled ghost in the autumn night, Red-haired fox, once full of light, But shadows crept, stole her away, From the sunshine of our days. (Bridge) Saw her on the corner streets, New crowd, new way to feel complete, Faded jeans and trembling hands, In a world she couldn’t understand. The needle whispered in her veins, Promised end to all her pains, But we all watched her slip away, In a silent, helpless daze. (Verse 3) Just before her eighteenth year, Found her cold, alone and near, Her dreams now lost in shadows deep, In the night, she fell asleep. Hat still on, hair flowing free, Gone before she found the key, To a life she never knew, Freckled ghost, we’re missing you. (Chorus) Freckled ghost in the winter’s chill, Red-haired fox, her heart is still, But shadows crept, stole her away, (whoa-oh) From the sunshine of our days. (guitar solo) (Bridge) Saw her on the corner streets, New crowd, new way to feel complete, Faded jeans and trembling hands, In a world she'd never understand. (no-oh) The needle whispered in her veins, Promised end to all her pains, But we all watched her slip away, In a silent, helpless daze. (Chorus) Freckled ghost in the winter’s chill, Red-haired fox, her heart is still, But shadows crept, stole her away, (whoa-oh) From the sunshine of our days. (our days) (Outro) Now we whisper in the halls, Her name echoing off the walls, Braces, freckles, hat so dear, Long red hair, we shed a tear. Freckled ghost, a bright young fox LeeAnne the name, long wavy locks A spotted face, a shiny smile Braces as nickname, lasted a while Freckled ghost, you’re missed and loved, A punk girl flown to skies above, In our hearts, you’ll always stay, In the sunshine of our days.
