Helen Hudson - Chasing Ghosts Lyrics

I came back to the city, hungry for your faith.
Longing for that feeling that used to make me ache.
My heart is beating fast as I am calling out the past. I hope you're there.

I've been planning this year, this sweet reunion that we'll have.
My hand is on the phone and yet my heart is turning back.
Because the voice that's coming through doesn't even sound like you and now I'm scared.

I'm just chasing ghosts from out of the past.
Living on dreams that I know never last.
I'm just chasing ghosts alone in the dark.
What scares me the most is they're here in my heart.

It's funny I've forgotten how you used to laugh.
It's making me remember what we used to have.
But something's missing from this space between the words we say, it's not the same.

I guess I kept the old flame burning though the candle had gone low.
In hopes of fire lingered where I could no longer go.
But I was lost inside a dream, I made you up from memory.
I knew I've changed.

I'm just chasing ghosts from out of the past.
Living on dreams that I know never last.
I'm just chasing ghosts alone in the dark.
What scares me the most is they're here in my heart.

I've been making love to memories.
I've even kissed your shadow in my dreams.
When I turn and face reality it's never what it seems.
There's a song on every highway that this gypsy seems to take. It calls out by the laughter from a half forgotten face. I have forgotten what was real, I only know the way I feel.

I'm just chasing ghosts...only chasing ghosts...I'm only chasing ghosts....
