about

This is the sole version of Ghost Of Me. It was recorded sometime in 2002 at a friend's home studio, Joe Willix, who engineered the song along with Drama Kids songs Driving and As You Dream. Paco handled vocals and acoustic guitar on the track, likely done in one or two takes just to get the basic song on tape. At the time the song came into play we were already in the process of recording Drama Kids and likely thought it would end up as a contender for the follow up album...but, it never really got a chance.

Ghost Of Me was performed live many times acoustically at open mic nights around Dallas until we ended touring more often to support Drama Kids.

lyrics

rest my cold face on your shoulder
i miss the dancing in the rain with you

place my hand into your shadow
shapes of warmth in an endless dream
where i can't touch you

and you find it harder to sleep these days
every time you dream...you can't escape the ghost of me

and in between the night and the day
i will lay down right here with you by your side
if i'm in your mind then you're not rid of me

we used to bathe these rooms with laughter
walls of silence begin shivering with echoes of you

we used to play these games for hours
and even when you're smiling i know how it feels on the inside when i'm holding you

and you don't even know that i'm still the warmth in your bed treasuring all these memories that dance in my head
if only i could i know that i would
wake up to where we began
miss your touch and your taste and the warmth of your skin
my tergiversation bleeding for resurrection
and longing for you
and longing for you

and every single time that you're sleeping
i'll be there watching you dreaming
holding the candle that turns for these moments that burn until the day that you're rid of me
