Do you believe in ghosts? Hannah told us quite a story. Andrew said, “Yeah right, bologna. I don’t believe in ghosts.” She told us of the time that she came downstairs only to find that all the drawers and cabinets had opened on their own. She told us of the time that she heard the knocks on her bedroom door, opened it up and looked around the house, but she was alone. Do you believe in ghosts? Betsy told us quite a story. Andrew said, “Yeah right, bologna. I don’t believe in ghosts.” She told us of the times that she sat on her porch watching the neighbor’s TV turn off and on though nobody was at home. She told us all about how someone died in the bath years ago and every now and then the door seems to shut on its own. Do you believe in ghosts? Mary told us quite a story. Andrew said, “Yeah right, bologna. I don’t believe in ghosts.”

I Wonder 04:27
I wonder if you know that to me you are a ghost. Thought it was me who made you go, I still think about you most. I still wonder. I think I didn’t understand why you’d want to change your plans. I refused to take a stand and sent you slipping from my hands. I still wonder.

Unfriendly Ghost, do you speak, hello? Unfriendly Ghost, what’s the matter, can you show? Unfriendly Ghost, what was your job and did you do it well? Unfriendly Ghost, can’t we talk without talking of Hell? Can’t we talk about anything? Are you really bored by everything? Do you think it’s weird if I don’t sing? Your odd silence isn’t helping. Unfriendly Ghost, I know, I know, I know, you hate me and so I’ll go. Unfriendly Ghost, I’m not trying anything. Just want to know, how does it go?

I can see you on the dance floor doing it right. Are you coming over to me? Well, it looks like you might. We started grooving in sync to my favorite song. I thought, “Maybe this is who I’ve waited for all along.” And for some dumb reason, didn’t ask you for your number name or both, but it doesn’t matter now, cuz you’re gone, you’re a ghost. After pausing the dance just for refreshments, well I looked for your face. But searching yielded nothing you were gone: gone with no trace. And for some dumb reason, didn’t ask you for your number name or both, but it doesn’t matter now, cuz you’re gone, you’re a ghost.

I believe in ghosts. They don’t have to be scary stories. It can be regret or worry for someone that you wronged so long ago. I believe in ghosts. They don’t have to be dead or gory. You can be the ghost in the story of someone else’s life now, don’t you know?

Before I awoke I was a ghost. Hello my old family. I’m gonna be okay. Please now, don’t you worry when I’m gone away. Before I awoke I was a ghost. Please now do forgive her for she is not to blame. She was behind the wheel yes, but it was the hand of fate. Before I awoke I was a ghost.
