歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Thrifted bag of weathered hide
Secrets tucked away inside
Buckle worn and stitches thin
Where does my own ghost begin?
Chipped ceramic, steaming tea
Dusty light for company
I trace the lines of cursive ink
And try to feel the way they think
[Chorus]
Letters from a ghost I know
Postage stamps from long ago
Faded ink and paper sighs
Underneath these fogged-up skies
Tell me where the stories go
When the winter starts to blow
Yeah, I'm just a wanderer too
Searching for a point of view
[Post-Chorus]
Searching for a point of view
Searching for a point of view
[Verse]
Bookstore windows blurred with gray
Watching people walk away
Found a note from sixty-three
“Wait for me by the willow tree”
Creaky floorboards, wooden stage
Turn another yellowed page
Did he show or did he stall?
I guess he never knew at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun-faded colors on the seal
Making all the distance real
I’ve got a pocket full of doubt
That I can’t seem to carry out
[Chorus]
Letters from a ghost I know
Postage stamps from long ago
Faded ink and paper sighs
Underneath these fogged-up skies
Tell me where the stories go
When the winter starts to blow
Yeah, I'm just a wanderer too
Searching for a point of view
[Bridge]
I have words I never said
Living in my weary head
Heavy like a river stone
Keeping me so far from home
Did they find their peace at last?
Or are they tethered to the past?
Just like me, just like you
Breaking every heart in two
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Ink is smudged by someone's tear
Fifty years of hope and fear
I put the satchel on the floor
Wonder what I'm looking for
No answer in the cursive lines
Just the way the copper shines
I pack the pages back away
To save them for a rainy day
[Chorus]
Letters from a ghost I know
Postage stamps from long ago
Faded ink and paper sighs
Underneath these fogged-up skies
Tell me where the stories go
When the winter starts to blow
Yeah, I'm just a wanderer too
Searching for a point of view
[Post-Chorus]
Searching for a point of view
Searching for a point of view
[Breakdown]
Maybe there is no end
Just a letter left to send
Maybe we are all the same
Searching for a missing name
[Outro]
