Yesterday’s Ghost

Where's my luck

I've got it all at my feet

Yesterday's ghost keeps following me

No one knows what to do with me

I didn't do anything I set out to do today

Instead I spent my mind on you

You seem to have found it all

Beyond what we knew was ours

I'm just a tack stuck to your shoe

You don't even know I'm here

Oh how it's changed

Since nights were short

And so were days

Oh how things change

Where's my luck

I've got a house on the sand

I didn't build it on a rock, I said I had no plans

No one knows what I'm hoping to be

I didn't get anywhere I set out to be today

Instead I stayed and played these games

And I don't even know what for

You seem to have found it all

Beyond what we knew was ours

I'm just a wreck pining for you

I wonder if you care that I am

Take your time, I will find you

Pick up the pieces

All these things we once tried to find their reasons

Get up and go ahead

It's not worth your searching

Yesterday's ghost is dead

Get up and go
