Ghosts in the City

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

(Verse 1)

In a Boston bar, in the evening's glow,

She’s on the stage, singing soft and low.

A spotlight shines, and the world fades away,

But in the crowd, a passion bursts into flames

(Chorus)

Fierce and intense, like the summer autumn breeze,

The night slipped away with effortless ease.

Caught in a moment, but they couldn’t meet

Ghosts in the shadows, lost in the scene.

(Verse 2)

She sang of the dreams that they couldn’t ignite,

He felt the pull, the whisper of night.

But the bar's crowded echoes drowned out their chance,

Twin hearts in a whirlwind, too scared to advance.

(Chorus)

Fierce and intense, like the summer autumn breeze,

The night slipped away with effortless ease.

Caught in a moment, but they couldn’t meet

Ghosts in the shadows, lost in the scene.

(Outro)

In a Boston bar where lost moments reside,

Twin hearts still burning, with nowhere to hide.

A love left unspoken, a spark in the night,

Twin flames forever, lost in the light.

(Chorus)

Fierce and intense, like the summer autumn breeze,

The night slipped away with effortless ease.

Caught in a moment, but they couldn’t meet

Ghosts in the shadows, lost in the scene.
