IShanty:
Kept in confusion,
Trapped by illusion,
Thinking of speaking my mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.
Constantly drifting,
Endlessly lifting
More weight than one man can bear.
Into the future,
Ghosts of the past everywhere.
Men’s chorus (ghosts):
You’re sleeping amongst us,
We’re in your dream,
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?
Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.
Shanty:
Ghosts of the past.
Tossing and turning,
Somehow I’m learning
Secrets I’d rather not know.
Can’t it be simple?
Why does it have to be so?
Mary dee (as ghost):
I ll always be here,
I ll never leave you,
I ll always be in your mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts that the past left behind.
Women s chorus (ghosts):
You re sleeping amongst us.
We re in your dream.
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?
Full chorus (ghosts):
Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.
Shanty and mary dee (as ghost):
Ghosts of the past.
