Chasing Your Ghost (revised)

By Doug Haberman
Chasing Your Ghost (revised version)
Lyrics by Doug Haberman


Verse 1
You asked me to call you Bogie
Said you’d worked on a movie or two
You didn’t quite look like a leading man
But I really fell for you
When you talked your lips barely moved
A cigarette dangled there
Your smile curled like a scowl
You walked as if gliding on air

(Chorus)
Now the wind is blowing like the first wind
Stars are shedding tears of light
And I’m racing moonbeams into the dark
Chasing your ghost all night

Verse 2
You spoke of falcons and treasures
Riverboats and Paris, France
I didn’t hear the half of it
’Cause your eyes held me in a trance
You were cynical, hard-bitten
But vulnerable at the core
You mocked yourself more than anyone else
But you always knew the score

(Chorus)
Now the wind is blowing like the first wind
Stars are shedding tears of light
And I’m racing moonbeams into the dark
Chasing your ghost all night

(Bridge)
We had a beautiful friendship
We had so much more
They told me you’d water my desert forever
I was misinformed

Verse 3
You came and worked magic in the night
Then you always had to go
I’d say, “Anytime you need me…
Put your lips together and blow”
So I’m whistling past the graveyard
Hoping to raise the dead
I know that you won’t be coming back
But I can’t get you out of my head

(Chorus)
Now the wind is blowing like the first wind
Stars are shedding tears of light
And I’m racing moonbeams into the dark
Chasing your ghost all night
