Ghost Beside My Bed

It could have been a blessing or it could have been a dream
Things aren't always what they seem
It happened in an instant, it happened at night
Married to the moment like a bird in flight
Well I saw it once and it started to fade
I reached out to touch, I asked it to stay

Please, please precious light must you leave so soon tonight
I'm either dreamin' or I'm out of my head
There's no ghost beside my bed

My skin feels so cold
My heart beats like it's gonna explode
There's no fear, there's no fright
Just another visit from a spirit in the night
Can somebody tell me what this means to me
Or show me the truth behind what I see

Please, please precious light must you leave so soon tonight
I'm either dreamin' or I'm out of my head
There's no ghost beside my bed

Are you a message from the grave beyond
Or my mind telling me sanity's gone
I must be dreaming or I'm out of my head
There's no ghost beside my bed

I feel strange, I feel so strained
I can't explain, I just feel so strange

Please, please precious light must you leave so soon tonight
I'm either dreamin' or I'm out of my head
There's no ghost beside my bed

Are you a message from the grave beyond
Or my mind telling me sanity's gone
I must be dreaming or I'm out of my head
There's no ghost beside my bed
