You're like a ghost on the river
The cold rain makes me shiver
Like a ghost on the river
Like a glass when it slivers
Baby it's cold outside
And I'm down to my last dime
Is there a chance that we could spend tonight
Together one more time
Like clowns in the circus
No reason to be here
But to make the children smile
And the older people stare
You're a ghost on the river
The cold rain makes me shiver
Like a ghost on the river
Like a glass when it slivers
Baby it's cold outside
And I'm down to my very last dime
Is there a chance that we could spend tonight
Together one more time
It's the promise that you gave me
All those years ago
Still holding on to what once was
Never wanting to let it show
This wind rips my bones
Never felt this way
If my mind was over matter
I would leave this town today
Like a ghost on the river'
The cold rain makes me shiver
Ghost on the river
Like a glass when it slivers
Baby it's cold outside
And I'm down to my very last dime
Is there a chance that we could spend tonight
Together one more time
Together one more time
Together on last time
