This Old Ghost - Black & White lyrics

You sat there on the porch and kept your head down and wept about your life Like there was something you had left behind You waited hours to hear the phone ring but the ringing never came And you just kept on prayin' that everything would change You had a choice to make and when the time came you went against your heart Thinking much too long was tearing you apart They're reaching in and stealing all the air you used to need to breathe But you just closed your eyes as they buried you six feet I only see in black and white These colors don't seem to appear to me So I wonder what I'll miss tonight When I am the first to fall asleep Your father found you in the freezing cold and invited you back in But you refused to take his verbal medicine Believing there was nothing he could say that could ever change your mind You blocked out all the words and dreamt of better times I only see in black and white These colors don't seem to appear to me So I wonder what I'll miss tonight When I am the first to fall asleep To fall asleep
