lyrics

She appeared from a late August rain
At an inn by the shores of St. Andrews
White summer dress soaked through with angel tears

Just as a moth to a flame
There was no way on Earth to resist her
We sat near the fire and we talked like we'd been there for years

We shared more in one night than most lovers share in a lifetime
We came closer to heaven, 'cause heaven was ours to lose
I promised her I would remember this moment forever
Me and the ghosts, me and the ghosts of St. Andrews

As the sun poured out its last light
I said, if she'd stay I'd protect her
From the wandering shadows as lost as they are

Her smile, well it seemed to ignite
As we laughed about spirits and spectres
Just an excuse to be holding her close in my arms

We shared more in one night that most lovers share in a lifetime
We came closer to heaven, 'cause heaven was ours to lose
I promised her I would remember this moment forever
Me and the ghosts, me and the ghosts of St. Andrews

Maybe it wasn't right, to be holding her all through the night
But I knew that when morning came, it would take her away

By dawn, I was alone again
Not a trace of that girl to hold on to
I barely remember the brush of her lips on my skin

With every August rain
At that inn by the shores of St. Andrews
I still wait by the fire, and she always comes in

We share more in one night that most lovers share in a lifetime
We come closer to heaven, 'cause heaven is ours to lose
We're destined to share in this moment, now and forever
Me and the ghosts, me and the ghosts of St. Andrews

Allister Bradley Wellesley, Ontario

Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Producer/Engineer and many more things to many more people, Allister still can't decide what he wants to be when he grows up. His music can perhaps be described as modern folk, since it contains rich storytelling and imagery, but it might be mistaken for Smooth Jazz, Roots or AC. You decide.

Any way you describe it, Allister's music will reach deep within and satisfy ... more
