Musta Been A Ghost

If I call you, then I'm crazy, if I call you
If I call you, you ain't gonna answer
If I was ever to just call you
See, my problem is I want you to know who I am
When all that matters is that I know who the hell I am

I picture young Robert Frost, pen in hand, yellin' at the postman
No letter has he received
Even a, "No" would be alright, even a, "Sorry, but not today"
A sign of life would bring relief
Even a, "Thank you, but no, thank you", "Goodbye", "Take care"
"I already got one"

I thought I heard you laugh once, no?

I guess it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one
Every time I get close, can't keep you around
Thought I knew you, but it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one
Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real

Now today, all them horses run a bit faster
So I know if you wanted, baby, you could give me an answer
See, my problem is I want you to know who I am
When all that matters is that I know who the hell I am

I picture young Honest Abe, twiddlin' 'em thumbs for two week, no letter has he received
Are you one of those people that would rather disappear than show up and disagree?
Oh, give us a, "Thank you, but no, thank you", "Goodbye", "Take care"
"I already got one"

We cried together once, no?

I guess it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one
Every time I get close, can't keep you around
Thought I knew you, but it must've been a ghost, I don't see no one
Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real

Shame on my eyes, thinkin' you were real
