The last time I saw my father he’d been dead for twenty years
He was stood on the pavement in the rain
He stared at me and I stared at him through the windscreen and the tears
Then I blinked once and he was gone again
The ghost of my father haunts me still
The ghost of my father always will
The last time I saw my mother I was kissing her goodbye
I stayed all night and watched her slip away
40 years a widow the loneliest of lives
Holding back the tears and counting down the days
The ghost of my father haunts me still
The ghost of my father always will
For so many years I believed he was near
He’d come home one day and everything would be just fine
For all that I became I still shouldered the blame
But deep down I know the demons are mine
The last time I saw my father was twenty years ago
And I’m still not so sure that it was him
I’ve seen a ghost or two in my time and you’d think I’d know
The damage that comes from wishful thinking
The ghost of my father haunts me still
The ghost of my father always will
The ghost of my father haunts me still
The ghost of my father always will
