a-ha — Giving Up The Ghost

Icy road, blinding dark Rolling hills in the distance Open wound, a painful scar Love has left its burning trademark Off the grid, out of bounds Further down into shadow Darkest day and whitest night In harm’s way We’re chasing rainbows Giving up the ghost Giving up the ghost That’s what hurts the most You sever all my heads You place them on your bed Some part of your great scheme To vow me into silence Giving up the ghost Giving up the ghost Frozen lake soon will flow Frozen ground soon to follow But hey – everything is in your head And what you killed was never dead Giving up the ghost Giving up the ghost On what you loved the most On a coal-black sea, the sky’s on fire Failed attempts at a funeral pyre Deep as dreams of dark desire The flames are growing ever higher You severed all my heads You placed them on your bed Some part of your great scheme To vow me into silence Giving up the ghost Giving up the ghost That’s what hurt the most
