Lyrics

This is the dark
This is the night 
Shall I wait here
For to see the light 
What is that book
You’re preaching from
 Oh where’s that page
Where has it gone
Oh will you tell me if the day
The day will come
 Oh will you tell me if my time
My time is done
 Oh will it turn my father’s tears
His tears to joy  
Cause I’m the ghost of Dan the boy

Was it you that night
On new years eve
 Was it you that lived
Not far from me 
What’s the bottle that you brought
You’re drinking from
 What’s the bottle that you brought
Before I was gone

Oh will you tell me if the day
The day will come
 Oh will it tell me if my time
My time is done
 Oh will it turn my father's tears
His tears to joy 
Cause I’m the ghost of Dan the boy 
And I’m never coming back
Back to my home

You went out in the night
Searching for me
 By the railroad track by the cold marina Where are the signs
Outside my home
 Have they given up hope
For to find my soul
Oh will it tell me if the day
The day will come
 Oh will it tell me if my time
My time is done 
Oh will it turn my father’s tears
His tears to joy
 Cause I’m the ghost of Dan the boy
 And I’m never coming back
Back to my home
