So today I have become The ghost of summer walking Flesh and gristle, blood and bone The ghost of summer walking I think she left when I got bored And could offer nothing I'm not the one you used to know I'm the ghost of summer walking Time will write its name on you And all of those that love you Another sad sack gone to seed With vulture up above you I think I fail 'cause I get tired Of all the endless hoping Here I am in faded glory Walking Do I have to explain? Do I have to explain? Hallelujah, here he comes The ghost of summer walking All of us one day become The ghost of summer walking Do I have to explain? Do I have to explain? So today I have become The ghost of summer walking Flesh and gristle, blood and bone The ghost of summer walking I know she left when she got bored And could offer nothing I'm not the one I used to be I'm the ghost of summer walking
