Written by Stevie Nicks and M. Campbell.





And the rain was there

There were many nights

And a few of them, were all that you had dreamed of

Love was the thing

And you feel as if someone was following you

But you know you are wrong

It's just the ghost of what you want to be

And the ghost of the past that you live in



It's just the ghost of what you really want

And it's the ghost of the past that you live in

And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of

So you look to your guardian angel



So long ago I was an innocent

It had nothing to do with age

One day they were lovers one day they were friends

There was nothing else to say



Well just the ghost of what you want to be

And the ghost of the past that you live in

It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of

So you turn to your guardian angel



And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of

Love was the thing

So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism



To feel the empty spaces she's feeling

She depends on her music like a husband

And she knows it's no good to fall in love again

One day they were lovers one day they were friends

There was nothing else to say



It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be

And the ghost of the past that you live in

Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of

So you look to your guardian



So you look to your guardian angel

Some of them are here on earth

Well some of them are way up there in heaven



So you look to your guardian angel

Some of them are here on earth

Some of them are way up there in heaven heaven
