Hey all - I'm going to give it a try. I roughed out the words this morning (no chords yet). I'm relating it to the goings-on in my neck of the woods. I have a friend and neighbor fighting the big C who I haven't seen for a while but heard from his wife that he's not doing well. Here's what I have so far:
Another Ghost
Hey neighbor where’d you go
I remember seeing you all the time
You’d be working in your yard
I’d be working on mine
But we’d stop work in the middle
Set aside our weekly chore
Catch up on all the goings-on
In each other’s world
Another ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty
Are you still around
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost
The truth is that I don’t even know
Whether or not you’re with us still
If you’ve made your final peace
And climbed that big old hill
What awaits us all I guess
Once our journey’s done
Settled in upon us
After our earthly run
Another ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty
Are you still around
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost
I know before too long I’ll hear
The news of if you’re well
Neighbors will start sharing
Pass on the news after a spell
Who knows I might see you
Outworking in your yard again
And I’ll come over catch us up
All about how we’ve been
Will you be a ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty
Is that really you
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost
