GHOST NOTES © Freda Leask
Colours move in a midnight sky
The dawn of a northern night
I used to fly
Now it's not for me
Fly with the fickle wind
To restless heights where dreams begin
Only to realise
Only to see

Colours move in that midnight sky
Stage lights and dreams gone wild
I used to try
Now it's not that way
Take my dream beyond the night
Where silent echoes harmonise
And voices on the wind can rise
And hear Your ghost notes play

Colours fade in that midnight sky
Stage lights have dimmed your eyes
But I hope you realise
Go play your ghost notes well
I'm not a fickle friend
I'm here until the end
I hope you realise
Go play your ghost notes well
