Your lips they taste of Cherry cough syrup And the smoke from the mountains That rises up in the evening Vaguely familiar Like a face you've forgotten I feel alive But I know you're slipping Somewhere outside Manchester Waiting on a train You hold my hand And we say nothing about it Looking out at Northern England's Industrial complex You think the old steel works Look wise and majestic We talk about nothing I, I didn't see this coming The stranger I saw across the street Fading from sight A ghost in the sky We book a room At the Central Hotel We fill up the bath And lay on our stomachs The world is gone It's just the water between us And I feel a love But I know I'm gonna grieve it There's a bang on the door And your manager is raging We race across town We're late to the stage But we sing our little hearts out Till the words reach their limit And I feel alive Our hair is still wet Our hair is still wet I, I didn't see this coming The saviour you saw Across the street Was a shadow in time A ghost, a ghost in the sky A ghost in the sky You're a ghost in my sky
