Cold as a river that always runs
My soul is a whisper of all I've done
I try to shake its hold
But I am tied to the ghost
Time is a cruel wheel that spins until
The sands in our glass spill out and lay still
I try to shake its hold
But I am tied to the ghost
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Tied to the ghost
Hope is the answer to every fear
Question is, when did it disappear
Strong as the devil's hand and dry as bone
The wind that howls within the holes in our home
I try to shake its hold
I try to shake its hold
I try to shake its hold
But I am tied to the ghost
