Surrendering the Ghost
Whispers of a Midnight Promise: Chamberlain's Surrendering the Ghost
Lyrics
In the engine hymn of this evening's train,
In the rhythmic melody of tonight's train,
I swore I heard your name.
I pledged that I heard your name.
And in the whistle's refrain
And in the repetitive sound of the train's whistle,
Of this evening's train,
Again, I was convinced I heard your name.
I swore I heard your name.
Reiterating the notion that your name echoed in the train's sounds.
I remember keeping mad hours in the night
I recall spending late hours during the night,
Under an honest sky,
Beneath an authentic sky,
When the world's shadows stood
When the shadows of the world
At shoulder side by side,
Stood alongside, shoulder to shoulder,
And so did you and I.
Just like you and I did.
Like a bashful boy to shudder
Similar to a shy boy recoiling
From a ray of light,
From a beam of light,
A coward by design.
A person characterized by fear.
While across this crowded town
Meanwhile, in this populous town,
There's a girl who bleeds
There exists a girl who suffers
From open wounds and an open heart.
From visible wounds and a vulnerable heart.
That's a feeling that I can't afford.
This emotion is one I cannot afford.
I've been in the dark too long.
I've been in the darkness for too extended a time.
