“Living With The Ghost” Bon Jovi Lyrics

Marry me to the blue sky
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
Meet me where they stop time
That’s you to me on the shovel that’s digging this grave
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
Till I can find a way to turn all tears into wine
I’ll hitch my ride to a day dream
Can’t unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind

I ain’t living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I’ve seen what hate has done to hope
Tomorrow wasn’t built to last
I ain’t living with the ghost
How can I scream, I’m scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain’t living with the ghost

I set my sails over wheat fields
Rode waves of amber, let a new sun shine on my face
I dropped the sword, put down my shield
I left your scars for the stars, guiding my way
I traded hurting for healing
I must admit that I was reeling
Now I’m feeling just fine
Traded nightmares for dreaming
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive

I ain’t living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I’ve seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn’t built to last
I ain’t living with the ghost
How can I scream, I’m scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain’t living with the ghost

Last night I had this dream
I saw a man wash his feet
In the church holy water
He worked up to his knees
From his arms to his neck
Said I’m in over my head
He was crying trying to get some relief
Lord, I’m just trying to get some relief
I had this dream
That man was me

I ain’t living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I’ve seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn’t built to last
I ain’t living with the ghost
How can I scream, I’m scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
Now I ain’t living with the ghost

Lyrical Diary-

Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.

Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
