It felt too real to be a dream We were getting high on gasoline Sittin' on the banks where the river bends We laughed and danced and sang And we talked about everything Sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend And you couldn't tell me much About the afterlife and such Just about the beauty of the end You said no need to be afraid And I'd understand it all someday Just sit here with the ghost of your bеst friend Wish this night could last forever Wish this momеnt had no end And if this is a dream Please, don't wake me from my sleep Cause I'm sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend The sun was sinkin' down Stars lit up this river town I noticed tears were falling in your hands Dreams you knew you'd never see I swear you'll see them now through me Traveling with the ghost of my best friend
Then you said you had to go But you wanted me to know You'd put a word in for me if you can Before you turned around to leave You came and put your arms 'round me And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend Wish this night could last forever Wish this moment had no end And if this is a dream Please, don't wake me from my sleep Cause I'm sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend It felt too real to be a dream We were high on gasoline Sitting where the river starts to bend Before you turned around to leave You came and threw your arms round me And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend So glad, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend Oh Lord, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend
