The Golden Ghost

Verse 1

Collar jingling by the door

Found a tennis ball behind the shelf

Kitchen tiles are quiet now

Running patterns on the rugs alone

Pre-Chorus

The summer heat is fading out

Shadows stretching on the driveway stone

Still looking for you there

Walking where we used to go

Chorus

Oh I still hear your paws across the wood

Running like I always knew you would

Even when the house feels empty

I feel you close to me

Good girl you were always staying true

Best friend that a lonely heart ever knew

Verse 2

Dusty prints on the glass

Nose marks near the bottom of the frame

Clouds passing through the grass

Whistling and calling out your name

Pre-Chorus

The evening sun is getting low

Leash is hanging by the garden gate

I catch a glimpse of gold

Coming home though it is late

Chorus

Oh I still hear your paws across the wood

Running like I always knew you would

Even when the house feels empty

I feel you close to me

Good girl you were always staying true

Best friend that a lonely heart ever knew

Bridge

Soft ears and a wagging tail

Waiting for the morning light

Morning light

Endless trail

Sleeping through the quiet night

Chorus

Oh I still hear your paws across the wood

Running like I always knew you would

Even when the house feels empty

I feel you close to me

Good girl you were always staying true

Best friend that a lonely heart ever knew
