Sometimes I find that the ghost from behind me won't go You'd think by this time You'd be gone from my mind But it isn't so Sometimes I hear your voice ringing clear on the radio Hearing you tell words that I knew so well Not so long ago And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland I remember that night Of that year when the tears wouldn't clear my eyes I'd seen it before Like a dream I'd ignore It was no surprise I tried to pretend that the madness would end and you'd realise That all that was left was the whisper of death and your children's cries And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland You slipped away like snow in a warm hand You welcomed that warm hand You made it too easy
