I always liked the idea of talking to relatives and friends no longer in this world.
One day maybe.
Oh and A Merry Christmas.

There are ghosts © 2023 Vic Arnold
V1
There's a silver haired old mother, sitting in a fireside chair,
gazing at the embers with a teary, distant stare.
I wonder what she's seeing in the flickering of the flames.
Coming through the light ...
In passion or in shame ...
There are ghosts in this valley and tonight they're her's to name.
Ch.
There are ghosts in this valley
but they show no ill intent.
They're the guardians of memories back in time.
Stepping stones across a river
that lead to our old friends
or the troubled, broken dreams we left behind.
V2
There's a track through the brambles where we played with our toy guns
in imaginary battles that somehow we always won.
Then came the time to put an end to all those childish things ...
Marching off to war ...
to feel the bullet sting ...
There are ghosts in this valley but tonight again, they'll win.
Ch.
Repeat
