Written by Stevie Nicks and M. Campbell.
And the rain was there
There were many nights
And a few of them, were all that you had dreamed of
Love was the thing
And you feel as if someone was following you
But you know you are wrong
It's just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's just the ghost of what you really want
And it's the ghost of the past that you live in
And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of
So you look to your guardian angel
So long ago I was an innocent
It had nothing to do with age
One day they were lovers one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say
Well just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you turn to your guardian angel
And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of
Love was the thing
So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism
To feel the empty spaces she's feeling
She depends on her music like a husband
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again
One day they were lovers one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say
It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you look to your guardian
