Coastal Fog Ghosts © 1.14.15 Sherry Bach

I've been waiting and hoping you'd come

Is that you? I'm pretty sure it is

I see you walking up there in the fog

Would I look silly if I start to run?

All the things that I read into

That kiss that killed me

The arms that held me

The spirit that filled me when I looked at you

Seem so clear now up ahead

But the soft sand is bogging me down

I think the fog is getting thicker

Am I really seeing you or is it all in my head?

This is where we sat and talked for hours

This is crazy! I think I'm seeing ghosts

Or maybe it's the memories are so real

Your voice, the full moon on the water

My God! Your lips! I'll never forget

I could have loved you all my life

I can't see very far now, it's closing in

The fog, the tears, emotions, regret

Whatever it was clouding my view

Is like this coastal fog

Makes me think I see things that aren't there

Makes me believe things that aren't true

It can be dangerous, able to skew

Clear vision, the obvious in plain sight

I don't think you meant it the way I took it

It was just a ghost, not really you
