Tiptoe Like A Ghost

[Verse 1] Streetlights paint the pavement grey Another hour slipped away The key feels cold within my hand Returning from some nowhere land Engine cuts, the silence falls Heavy on these sleeping walls Take a breath outside the door Not quite sure what I came back for [Chorus] Tiptoe, tiptoe, like a ghost On the shores that I have lost Everybody's sleeping deep Secrets that their stillness keep Key turns softly in the lock Just another lonely clock Home again, but out of phase Lost inside these empty days [Verse 2] Shoes come off beside the mat Where has all the welcome sat? Hallway light, a weak display On the life I keep at bay Every shadow seems to loom In the quiet of this room Creaking floorboard, makes me freeze Like a stranger on the breeze [Chorus] Tiptoe, tiptoe, like a ghost On the shores that I have lost Everybody's sleeping deep Secrets that their stillness keep Key turns softly in the lock Just another lonely clock Home again, but out of phase Lost inside these empty days [Bridge] Moonlight traces dust on glass Watches fleeting moments pass Over covers, breathing slow Worlds away from where I go There's no warmth that starts to bloom Just the chill of this quiet room Watching dreams I cannot share Just suspended in the air [Chorus] Tiptoe, tiptoe, like a ghost On the shores that I have lost Everybody's sleeping deep Secrets that their stillness keep Key turns softly in the lock Just another lonely clock Home again, but out of phase Lost inside these empty days [Outro] Yeah, lost inside these empty days... Trying not to make a sound... On this quiet, hollow ground. Shhh... hollow ground... Shhh...
