The Ghost

(Edward McBride)

These lyrics describe a young man's nightmare as his wife is killed by a drunk driver. He is struggling to come to grips with it and sees his wife all of the time as a ghost-like figure. Mentally he is sliding into an abyss and needs help.

The doorbell rings
I know what it brings
She's standing there
It's more than I can bare

She's still in white
She looks so right
She's just a ghost
My life is toast

Chorus
My wife has gone
I struggle on
The mangled car
He had come from a bar
He took my shining star
Please help, please help
I need your help

I close the door
I drop to the floor
A broken man
I'm all alone

I must move on
It's been a year
I still have fear
She's no longer here

Chorus 
My wife is gone 
I struggle on
The mangled car
He had come from a bar
He took my shining star
Please help, please help
I need your help
