Ghosts Again Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Wasted feelings
Broken meanings
Time is fleeting
See what it brings

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Hellos, goodbyes, a thousand midnights
Lost in sleepless lullabies

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Heaven's dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we'll be ghosts again

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Sunday's shining
Silver linings
Weightless hours
All my flowers

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
A place to hide the tears that you cried
Everybody says goodbye

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Faith is sleeping
Lovers, in the end
Whisper we'll be ghosts again
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Heaven's dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we'll be ghosts again

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Faith is sleeping
Lovers, in the end
Whisper we'll be ghosts again

Genius Answer

Dave Gahan:

When I first heard that song, I was like, ‘Okay. I’m in.’ The demo made me feel instant joy. I remember dancing around my living room, and my daughter came in and she was looking at me weird, like, ‘What’s going on?’ I was like, ‘Don’t you love this?’ She kind of started bopping along with me and she was like, ‘I get it. It’s a really good song.’
