Ghosts On PEI
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 2001

Winter winds blow snow
Across cut down barley stalks
Cold cuts through the clothes and skin
And heads straight for the heart

I remember desperate times
When love could not be caught
When all my need was reigning
And love was just a thought

Only ghosts go fleeting by
When you do not choose to live
There are only alibis
And no love can you give

And I could only really cling
As you kept your heart whole
You were the nearest living thing
I nearly stole your soul

You were a young man’s mystery
Far too true to share
And when I’d reach my arms for you
It’s like I grasped at air

For you lived in the moment
And I dwelled in a dream
You held your strength and kept it true
While I drove lies between - us

Only ghosts go fleeting by
When you do not choose to live
There are only alibis
And no love can you give

And I could only really cling
As you kept your heart whole
You were the nearest living thing
I nearly stole your soul

You were my lover and my foe
It wasn’t easy to let go
Across the barley fields
The cold winds blow
