Ghost of Something New

Can we recede into the distance
Can we seal the ancient book
Can we follow through the firelight
Can we find another truth

I know there's times I played it different
I know the sound of steel on wood
I know the hand of time swings swift
I know I can't let go of it

O restless sun

Maybe it's better in the country
Maybe the train's still in the station
Maybe the meadow's full of patience
Maybe you shouldn't lie alone

O restless sun

Sometimes the light in you is blinding
Sometimes the trick is in the finding
Sometimes you don't know what you'll lose
Someday you're gonna have to choose

O restless sun

So you fell back into the distance
Searching for some old ancient truth
Now you're burning through the firelight
Just like the ghost of something new
