Only Ghosts - Vernon Lyrics

For a second, I could still hear the lines that you read
Never steady, with a hint of pain in your breath
I sat and listened to see how I'd bring you back
Only memories, and the dreams now fade to black

You were alive
You were alive
You were alive
You were alive

Wood and copper. Sawdust, tears and sweat
For a family that stayed on after your death
Still the stories echoing through these halls
While you're waiting for whatever beyond calls

You were alive
You were alive
You were alive
You were alive
