The Clark McLane Band - A Ghost Is Just an Angel Lyrics

A ghost is just an angel and they're both caught in between
Yesterday is scattered while today sits so serene
I'd follow you to eternity, I know you'd do the same
A ghost is just an angel, a shadow's just a name
I heard it in the barbershop and on the road beneath the stars
Jumpin' freights and passin' bottles runnin' town in stolen cars
The ghosts dance one more number and the angels quit at dawn
And leave the in between back to the non-believing ones
That stranger that you first met you swore you've met before
In a dark and empty barroom, in the truck stops and thrift stores
A ghost appears and vanishes right before your eyes
An angel bums a cigarette while wearing his disguise
And if I see you later on babe, I'll know it's meant to be
That chance beyond coincidence gone mostly overseen
It's a nudge, a wink, a double take, a smile at the sky
The faintest trace that ghosts and angels leave for us behind
