The Ghost In You

You awoke in a burning paperhouse

From the infinite fields

Of dreamless sleep

You return to Tiananmen

An eyewitness in a shroud

To see them fall, feel them yield

Relieving the terror of the crowd

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

Just for a moment, I seemed to know

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

The whisper of your scream

Sighed through the air

And faith - the flag is torn and frayed

Inferno heat, glory in flame

Love was beaten and betrayed

In every step I hear your sobbing

Dare I break the shade with one caress?

Dare I trespass to lift the veil

To touch the lips so soft and frail?

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

Your captive heart, the belief you share

With a kiss eternal, the spirits of the square

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

Hope remains with the ghost in you

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

Don't let it blow

The ghost in you

The ghost in you
