Intro

    
    

Verse 1

Sometimes in the night I feel it
Near as my next breath and yet untouchable 
Silently the past comes stealing
Like the taste of some forbidden sweet 
Along the walls in shadowed rafters
Moving like a thought through haunted atmospheres
Muted cries and echoed laughter
Banished dreams that never sank in sleep 

Verse 2

Lost in love and found in reason
Questions that the mind can find no answers for 
Ghostly eyes conspire treason
As they gather just outside the door 
Every ghost that calls upon us
Brings another measure in the mystery 
Death is there to keep us honest
And constantly remind us we are free 

Chorus

Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of days that we left behind  
Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of dreams that we left behind

Verse 3

Sometimes in the night I feel it
Near as my next breath and yet untouchable
Silently the past comes stealing
Like the taste of some forbidden sweet 
Every ghost that calls upon us
Brings another measure in the mystery 
Death is there to keep us honest
And constantly remind us we are free 

Chorus

Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of days that we left behind  
Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of dreams that we left behind
