She's
standing in the airport,
she's telling me goodbye
She's telling me she loves me,
and there are teardrops in her eyes
And when I look at that old picture,
it always makes me blue
And there are days
where that's all that I do
And oh, these old memories
can sure get me down
Going through life
with these ghosts all around
And oh how they haunt me,
they haunt and they cry
Oh but I wish these ghosts would die
There I am in some old tearoom
Here I am in some old bar
Drinkin' cordy, suckin' water
With the money in my jar
And when I look back on those old times
It always makes me blue
And there are days when
that's all that I do
And oh, these old memories
can sure get me down
Going through life
with these ghosts all around
And oh, how they haunt me,
they moan, they cry
Oh, but I wish these ghosts would die
And all I want, all I pray
Please somebody make these
ghosts go away
If you really need to reach me,
go to 1963
Playin' guitar by the radio, anything in G
And when I listen to those old songs,
it always makes me blue
And there are days
when that's all that I do
And oh, these old memories
can sure get me down
Going through life
with these ghosts all around
They know how they perform,
they moan and they cry
Oh, but I wish these ghosts would die
Oh, but I wish these ghosts would die you
