Ghosts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear the sound of your guitar
Comin' in from the mystic far
Stone and the gravel in your voice
Come in my dreams and I rejoice
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your ghost moving through the night
Spirit filled with light
I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm
[Chorus]
Alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
[Verse 2]
Old buckskin jacket you always wore
Hangs on the back of my bedroom door
Boots and the spurs you used to ride
Click down the hall but never arrive
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just your ghost moving through the night
Spirit filled with light
I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm
I hear the sound of your guitar
Comin' in from the mystic far
Stone and the gravel in your voice
Come in my dreams and I rejoice
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your ghost moving through the night
Spirit filled with light
I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm
[Chorus]
Alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
[Verse 2]
Old buckskin jacket you always wore
Hangs on the back of my bedroom door
Boots and the spurs you used to ride
Click down the hall but never arrive
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just your ghost moving through the night
Spirit filled with light
I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm
[Chorus]
Alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
[Verse 3]
Old Fender Twin from Johnny's Music downtown
Still set on 10 to burn this house down
Count the band in then kick into overdrive
By the end of the set we leave no one alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Ghosts runnin' through the night
Our spirits filled with light
I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm alive
[Verse 4]
I shoulder your Les Paul and finger the fretboard
I make my vows to those who've come before
I turn up the volume, let the spirits be my guide
Meet you brother and sister on the other side
[Chorus]
I'm alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home
Alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
[Verse 3]
Old Fender Twin from Johnny's Music downtown
Still set on 10 to burn this house down
Count the band in then kick into overdrive
By the end of the set we leave no one alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Ghosts runnin' through the night

I need, need you by my side
Your love and I'm alive
[Verse 4]

Meet you brother and sister on the other side
[Chorus]
I'm alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones
I'm alive and I'm out here on my own
I'm alive and I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home

What did Bruce Springsteen say about "Ghosts"?
Genius Answer
From Springsteen’s Twitter:
“Ghosts” tries to speak to the spirit of the music itself, something none of us owns but can only discover and share together. In the E Street Band, it resides in our collective soul, powered by the heart.
