lyrics

GHOST ON THE STREET

On the edge of night, the waves cradle your weight (wait) for the golden shore
have you money for your freedom? from a rich man's war, for American dreaming
40 thieves they march the streets of this five-point city
that will feed your family
You're American, You're American now.

I feel it all around; I feel it all around;
the battle beats the sound; the marchers meet the ground

Ghost on the street, there's something going down I feel it all around
so darling you better wait for me (2x)

On the edge of night, you shift your weight (wait) for it.
Something you have found...
can be broken, can be stolen, can be smiling back and warming,
can be lost and losing ground, can be small, can be all around,
You're American, You're American now.

I feel it in my feet; I feel it in my knees; the battle sounds the beat;
they're marching down for keeps

Ghost on the street, there's something going down I feel it all around
so darling you better wait for me (2x)
ooh..........................................................................
ooh....................................................................................

Ghost on the street, there's something going down
The history is bound to the land all around
Ghost on the street your the fire and the heat for the furnace underneath
you're the heartbeat of these streets
Ghost on the street, there's something going down I feel it all around
so darling you better wait for me (2x)

"Quiet and somber melodies with introspective lyrics and ethereal instrumentals create an exciting dynamic that Rogers excels at. One can see why she brings audiences to a still awareness and complete hush, as she dazzles the listeners who give her their full attention." ... more
