Richard & Danny Thompson - The Ghost of You Walks

If that was our goodbye kiss
Seems a habit too good to miss
Once more for the memory
Hit the heights too well that time
To leave it there would be a crime
Seems more like beginning to me

At least we tried, took the biggest bite
Least we did it right
With all our souls and all our might

Blue murder on the dance floor
French kisses in the rain
Blood wedding in the water
Till I see you again
Dutch courage is the game
And the ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks
The ghost of you walks

The ghost of you walks right through my head
Sleepwalks at the foot of my bed
Sends old shivers over my skin
Love like that, won't let go
It's got some kind of a mind of its own
I can't break out and I can't break in

At least we lived, took it all at a rush
At least we loved too much
Felt too much, cared too much

Blue murder on the dance floor
French kisses in the rain
Blood wedding in the water
Till I see you again
Dutch courage is the game
And the ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks
The ghost of you walks

World's greatest guitarist, world's greatest double bassist. Not a bad line-up. Too bad Jools doesn't know a double bass from a bass guitar.

Different things, both beautiful.

I can always come back to Richard Thompson, whatever my mood, whatever's been going down, and just find something to lose myself in. He is such a maestro but understated with it and that's very appealing and endearing. Class.

Wonder how I got back here to this delightful tune + such powerful lyrics They Haunt me; I have renamed this tune in my memory bank to "The Ghost of An Experience That Haunts me..." Thanks for penning this tune 'Just for me at the Right time.' Namaste' My Heart Sings because of that Experience; for it is something that carries me through some challenges that I chose to go through; to get where I need to travel. Brings chills to my soul for its vibrations are that powerful. (Tears of Joy also)

These lyrics show me how a one sided dream can haunt any BEing that allows themselves to Love knowing the Dream you have dreamed may never come true. So you turn to hope and believe for whatever{ loving so hard it hurts} may bring. What songs this Master musician shares with us his lyrics so deep his music so calming to my soul. Great having the lyrics that you can follow along. WONDERFUL. Thanks to My Angel for this Gem of a share; and to the poster Bless you for posting this. XXXOOO

I agree that his interview technique is less than great, but as a musician and also as a great fan of music, my brothers friend who plays guitar with Adele was on, and they have really strict rules about performing live.

and his colaborations with other people are amazing, with Tom Jones, and the ones on his show.

Perfection!
