As the autumn wind whispers through the tall and lonely pines    And the hour of fate is drawing close at hand    Freebird falling from the sky    Brings a bitter end to another southern man    But there’s a grey ghost runnin’ through the night    An echo of the sadness and the pain    Grey ghost runnin’ through the night    The man is gone but his spirit will remain       Fast like them, the music is just a thin disguise    For the heartache and the fear of growin’ old    Without the one that means the most it makes you realise    That you’re the one that’s left out in the cold    There’s a grey ghost runnin’ through the night    An echo of the sadness and the pain    Grey ghost runnin’ through the night    The man is gone but his spirit will remain       Dealer of death has dealt the losing hand    And it’s a cold fact the cards don’t ever lie    Through the fire dream of things to come is such a ??? pain    When the memories are all that’s left behind    There’s a grey ghost runnin’ through the night    An echo of the sadness and the pain    Grey ghost runnin’ through the night    The man is gone but his spirit will remain
