- I know this is pretty wordy, but I don't usually write lyrics. This is actually something I wrote when I fell in love, and then when he was avoiding me; I became his ghost.

You never even noticed my pain
It was as plain as day;
Written all over my face
I wanted you to make it go away
But I seemed to be a ghost
I became your ghost
Your ghost in the sun

Shimmering red highlights in the sun
I don't know how you couldn't see me, but
You looked right through me
And you went the other way
I was your ghost
I am your ghost.

I listened to your voice day after day
I waited for you to say my name
But it rarely came
And when you looked at me
You looked right through me
Do I matter to you as much as you matter to me?
Or am I just a ghost?
Your ghost in the sun.

Shimmering red highlights in the sun
I don't know how you couldn't see me, but
You looked right through me
And you went the other way
I was your ghost
I am your ghost.

Night after night went by
Tear after tear
The flow seemed endless
All I ever really wanted was a smile
A piercing stare
A hello when you walked by
Instead I remained unseen
Your ghost in the sun

Shimmering red highlights in the sun
I don't know how you couldn't see me, but
Maybe you didn't want to
Maybe I am destined to be your ghost
Your ghost
Your ghost
Your ghost
Ghosts always float through your mind; but they stay longer than necessary. Like my thoughts.

Thank you all so much, truly. This really is a great thing to hear about my second attempt at song lyrics. :D

These were autumn mornings, the time of year when kings of old went forth to conquest; and I, never stirring from my little corner in Calcutta, would let my mind wander over the whole world.
