[Verse] Heaven could not be like this The friends who wait on me No rest could keep them Their heart won't slow Or be at ease [Verse 2] Their youth they wish to show me Their love Their gift Their time And every night they wait With patient faith To make me mine [Chorus] But when the sun is risin' They vanish So it seems I'm the only ghost who lingers In my lover's dreams [Verse 3] Maybe you should go to sleep I'm always late to leave Your eyes stay on me Like you can't believe That I might leave [Chorus] But when the sun is risin' They vanish So it seems I'm the only ghost who lingers In my lover's dreams [Bridge] You say "Heaven could not be like this All this waiting on me" Oh The ways I wait on you Oh I wish that you could see [Chorus] When the sun is risin' It won't be as it seems I'm the only ghost who lingers In my lover's dreams
