there's a girl in your class named heather
do you know her?

no, not very well

why not?

well you see with a name like heather
there isn't much really to tell

she sits up straight in her chair each morning
she never slouches at all
and that's the thing about heather
there's nothing special about her at all

and don't we all know a heather?
picking grass quietly on the lawn
that's thing about heather
you never notice her until she's gone

Curtains may fall
And people may go
But the ghost light’s
All I know

People may shout
And prance around the stage
But the ghost light
Will never age

See them laugh
see them cry
And get more for the encore
When next they arrive

See them live
See them die
And get scored for the next chord
When next they survive

I watch over their theatre with pride
But don't think for a minute that I’m on their side

Why do they call me a ghost?
When I am surely alive
Don't tell me I'm wrong
Surely I survive

When singers are done with their long songs
When dancers will find no more dances, they're wrong
And I will stand here in the dark all alone
In this theatre, I call my home

So I find I'm more than this
More than your people have taught me to be
If you fear a shadow behind you
That of course
Is me

I was never dumb
just naive
to wear my emotions on my sleeve
to walk so free
without my barricades
surrounding me

there are many things that I wish
but the truth comes down to this

i am fine
i am alive
i will survive
not just that
i'll thrive

You were my muse
you were my mooring
always sailing away
ignoring-- me
now I see

so tell me I'm nothing
and I'll smile for a while

My lady, a song for the love that I feel,
With you holding my hand, it is suddenly so real
There isn’t a note to express or appeal
The love I share for you my lady
The love I share for you

If a witch casts a spell and sings you to sleep
There isn’t any reason for the kingdom to weep
They can try to hold you and yet nothing can keep
Keep me from saving you, my lady
Keep me from saving you

Look at me and here now
As I am here standing proud
Through the wind and the rain
though I cannot make a sound

Oh won’t you listen, please
I’ve got some things to say
But don't matter how loud I scream
You won’t give me time of day

And someday
Someday someday
Someday you will know
Somehow someway
Someday you will go away

And someday you listen
As the dewdrops glisten
In the morning sun
Someday before it's done

And someday I will know
And someday I will see
All of the answers
Were inside of me

So
1 2 1 2 1 2 3
Take a little step with me
1 2 1 2 1 2 3
And save one last dance for me

So let us go now
Where you and I can
Dance around the floor
Forevermore

Flowers bloom at your feet
And the people line the street
For you and me

So let me take you over to the dance floor
Let me hold you tight and warm and close
Welcome my dear to the place where I can go
Welcome to the dance of the broken souls

I cannot wait for you
I cannot see you through
And the lass I knew
Her heart belongs to you

I gave her council
I gave her advice
I gave it all and more
But when it comes down to the reasons
What is a friend for?

Take my happiness
Pack it in a bag
Take my self-confidence
While you're at it
Take my books on how to make a friend
Take my love while you’re at it

1 2 3
These are a few things I must leave
If you would just say goodbye
I don't know how not to cry
Years go by
And 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4

And just like everything of me
Her heart now is yours
