Love is one of the strongest emotions, and this song tells the story of a man who died in the English civil war in the seventeenth century, and how he cannot move on because of the shock of being deserted by his lover.

lyrics

Trapped in a castle – what a place to be?
I hardly know why I’m here or where I’m going
I think I’m dreaming but I really cannot tell
Am I stuck in the mists of time?

I’m nobody’s father; I’m nobody’s son,
No one’s brother, I just don’t belong
I keep hearing myself calling her to come home to me
But my voice fades on the wind, and there are no answers I can see

I watch for her at windows of rooms that see no dawns
I walk among the people of future eras
Passing through walls is such an easy game to play
I please them with their tiny minds

A bullet passed through me in sixteen forty-five
They don’t consider that I might feel I’m still alive
If I could only find her, the lady I love most
Perhaps she could help me die; until that time you might call me a ghost

Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt all that’s above;
Doubt truth is a liar; but never doubt that I love.
I reach out to touch all of those who pass me by
Won’t someone catch my troubled hand?

When I met her, I was floating on air
She threw her arms around me, and we didn’t have a care
She said she’d be at my side; that we were blessed from above
Could she have known back then that her man would become a ghost in love

So, this is how it feels, to be a ghost in love.
Oh, this is how it feels, to wait for the one you love.
I so know how it feels to lose the one you love.
This is how it feels.

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
